Only a Duke Will Do (Westfield Pact, #1)

Reputation is a fragile thing to put in a rake’s hands.

Lady Amelia Westfield has one goal: to fall in love with and marry a duke. But after a ruinous encounter with Lord Nicholas Drake—notorious, ruthless, and infuriatingly handsome—she is forced into a dangerous bargain. In exchange for his silence, she must help him steer his brother, the future Duke of Lancaster, away from a fortune-hunter and toward Amelia herself.

It should be a simple transaction. Amelia gets the duke she’s always wanted. Nicholas protects his family. But the more Nicholas pushes Amelia toward his brother, the more he comes to covet her for himself.

She won’t settle for less than love. And Nicholas Drake—a man for whom love has always been denied—may be the one person incapable of giving it to her.
