My January Duke: (A Rake Review Season 2 novella)

About this book

When bailiffs arrive to seize her late father’s estate, Olivia Price’s world crumbles. Her salvation—or perhaps her greatest complication—arrives in the form of Devlin Hamilton, the Duke of Dalkeith. Her infuriatingly handsome neighbor, who has spent years trading barbs with her, makes an audacious move: he claims Olivia as payment for her father’s outstanding debts. This unexpected turn of events forces the headstrong Olivia into the orbit of a man she has secretly loved for years. Devlin, a cynical rake, views this arrangement as the perfect opportunity to finally indulge in the electric chemistry that has simmered between them for a lifetime. His plan is simple: satisfy his desire while keeping his guarded heart firmly under lock and key. However, the dynamic between them is far more complex than a mere transaction. As Devlin deploys his most wicked seduction tactics, he finds his defenses crumbling against Olivia’s resilient spirit. For her part, Olivia is determined to resist his charms, knowing that a temporary affair isn't enough. She doesn’t just want his body; she wants the soul of the man she has adored from afar. This high-stakes battle of wits and wills tests whether a jaded duke can finally learn to surrender to love.
