When Penelope is discovered in a compromising position with her Duke’s valet, she finds herself torn between two choices…push him away and pretend nothing is amiss, or submit to the dark desire she sees in her husband’s stern gaze. Penelope, the new duchess of Coldbrook, is in love with her husband. Shocking, she knows. The problem is, after their whirlwind courtship, he is now too busy to give her the attention she craves. Penelope finds herself dreaming up ways to capture her duke's attention and tempt him into her arms. But, an impulsive plan goes awry when she finds the firm hands of the valet on her skin, not the Duke’s. Even more scandalous is the way her body reacts to another man’s touch.
When caught red-handed by the Duke, she expects him to be angry, furious in fact. Penelope is completely unprepared for the heat in her Duke’s eyes when he commands them to continue. Or the answering thrill running through her as she submits to his desire.
