The Duke's Absolutely Fantastic Fling (The Notorious Briarwoods #15)

Every single duke must eventually search for the woman who will be his duchess. The Duke of Rossbrea is no different. He’s quite certain he’s found her in Miss Josephine, adopted daughter of Achilles Briarwood. However, she is not so easily convinced. Miss Josephine is not certain she’s the right choice for him, despite the fact that their kisses could warm any cold Highland night. When she agrees to an affair during the London Season to see if they’d suit, he’s determined to convince her that she belongs in his heart and in his castle.

Miss Josephine Briarwood sees the shadows the Duke of Rossbrea hides from everyone else. Mostly, because she has them too! Her nights, despite the love of the Briarwood family, are often plagued with memories of the war that shaped her earliest years as a child on the Continent. But she’s not willing to give him up. Not truly! And the affair she’s made him agree to? It’s a chance to see if all their kisses and the passion between them can form a love greater than any painful past. Will their kisses conquer all? Or will their affair end in the sort of failure that produces permanently broken hearts?
