Devil's Bargain

A CAD'S CONTRACT
The prospect of romance held little allure for Portia Easton. Besides which, in remote Warwickshire, the best she could possibly hope for would be a match with some obscure country gentleman. Of course, that was before Marc Hamilton, the dashing Duke of Castleton, swept into her life and, to Tia's great amazement, proposed marriage–though solely for the purpose of producing an heir. True, Tia scoffed at love...but she did not even like this arrogant, ill-mannered, though frightfully handsome, blackguard. It was an impossible situation made even more so by the Duke's penchant for making dangerous enemies–and by a curious warmth in his icy demeanor that awakened sensuous stirrings in Tia's ever-so-sensible heart.
