Some fairy tales begin with love at first sight. This is not one of those tales…

Sophronie Slater had no interest in getting married. Even if she did, the Duke of Waycross would not be her choice. She would, however, do anything for her father. So, in honor of his dying wish to see her legally bound to the contrary, annoyingly handsome Scot who drives her mad, she agrees to a very temporary marriage. She’ll never love him, though. At least, that was the plan…

Evan Gordonstone has no interest in romance. Caring for his relatives and restoring his duchy to profitability is about all he can manage. But if he has any hope of one day realizing his dream of breeding and racing horses, he needs Sophronie. Their arranged marriage will fix all his problems. Assuming he doesn’t fall for his lovely new wife and ruin everything…

Sophronie and Evan are about to find out that opposites can attract in the most unexpected—and sensual—ways. But when all is said and done, can they win each other’s hearts and turn their fake marriage into a real happily ever after?

Scandals, Secrets, and Sweet Romance
This Historical Regency Romance by a USA Today bestselling author proves that enemies can become lovers and opposites do attract. Sparks fly as Evan and Sophronie match wits until they admit their love for each other.

How To Win A Duke’s Heart is book fourteen in The Seductive Scoundrels Series. I enjoyed this book. Sophronie Slater is an interesting heroine – independent, high spirited on the outside but at times vulnerable and very relatable on the inside.  She already stands out from the crowd because she is an American. I liked the close relationship that she shares with her father and the deep way that they care about each other.  Evan Gordonstone The Duke of Waycross comes across grim and serious at first. But I adored the scenes with his gaggle of sisters and aunts. He juggles women in his family well and understands them on a deeper level than most men. Unfortunately, he and Sophronie have gotten off to a very bad start. Can there be love between enemies? Read and find out.
