She ruined him first. Love came later.
Lady Cecilia has always been everything a duke’s daughter ought to be: sweet, dutiful, and impeccably proper. But when faced with a future chained to a loathsome old earl, Cilly chooses wickedness instead.

One scandalous kiss on a moonlit terrace, one carefully staged ruin, and her fate is sealed—with the notorious Viscount Rivington.

Damian Bramwell has spent years convincing society he is every bit the villain they believe him to be. Cynical, charming, and determined never to marry, he is furious to find himself trapped by a lady far cleverer—and far less innocent—than she appears. Yet Cilly offers him more than her fortune. She offers respectability, friendship, and the one thing Damian has long since stopped believing he deserves: faith in the man beneath the scandal.

Their marriage is meant to be convenient. Civil. Safe. But as Cilly sets out to tame a rogue who refuses to be saved, Damian discovers his inconvenient bride may be the most dangerous temptation of all. For if she learns the truth of his past, she may run from him forever… and if she stays, he may have no choice but to risk the one thing he has sworn never to give.

His heart.
