When a Duke Desires a Lass

What if the safest choice is to stay apart… but the truth is, they belong together? Emily Grenville has no interest in ever marrying again. Widowed and burdened by a secret her late husband left behind, she’s determined to protect her independence—and her heart. She’s perfectly content… or so she tells herself. But when the ruggedly handsome Duke of Heatherston enlists her help to prepare his niece for the Season, Emily’s carefully controlled world is suddenly chaos. Tobias Forsyth, Duke of Heatherston, never planned on raising a niece—or falling in love. But duty demands he see his niece launched into Society, and he turns to the one woman who unsettles him in all the wrong—and right—ways. Emily is clever, captivating, and utterly infuriating… and somehow, exactly what he never knew he needed. As days of reluctant partnership become stolen glances and simmering attraction, long-held secrets and past wounds rise to the surface. Can Emily and Tobias find the courage to embrace the very thing they swore they didn’t want—or will fear keep them from the love they deserve? ___________________ Fall head over heels for brooding, protective dukes and the sassy heroines who challenge them in USA Todaybestselling author Collette Cameron’s unforgettable Duke Comes Calling (Seductive Scoundrels) Series.
