The Duke Starts a Scandal -- Sophie Jordan

<p><strong>A gentleman never dallies with the help, but the new Duke of Penning is no gentleman in this steamy fourth and final book in <em>The Duke Hunt</em> series by <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author Sophie Jordan. </strong></p><p><strong>A duke with secrets. </strong></p><p>Lucian, the newly minted Duke of Penning, has much to prove-- to himself, his family and the <em>ton</em>. Craving spotless respectability, he must find an aristocratic wife. Unfortunately, he can't keep his eyes--and thoughts--off his deliciously distracting housekeeper. Such a dalliance can only mar the facade he's constructed to protect his sisters' future from the demons of his past...but this fiery passion is a temptation he cannot resist. While Susanna may not the bride he needs, she is everything he desires. </p><p> <strong>A woman with a past.</strong></p><p>As the housekeeper to one of the grandest estates in England, Susanna Lockhart has worked determinedly to become all that is proper and efficient, and she <em>never</em> steps over the line. Romance is an indulgence for the upper class, not for her--and most especially not with her employer. But every smoldering glance from the surly, handsome duke calls to the long-buried reckless wanton inside Susanna. A love between them can never be, but will Lucian and Susanna risk being together...</p><p>Even if it starts a scandal... </p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Sophie Jordan<br><b>Publisher:</b> Avon Books<br><b>Published:</b> 10/24/2023<br>
