When Mia's carefully laid plans fall apart, she has nowhere to turn but to the one man she swore she'd never marry—and he agrees, but on his own infuriatingly rigid terms. Vander will give her his name and his protection, but he's determined to keep his heart locked away behind four nights a year that only he controls. What follows is a delicious battle of wills as this duke discovers that seducing his own wife might be far harder—and infinitely more rewarding—than he ever imagined. It's a slow-burn romance that mines genuine tension from the space between duty and desire, wrapped in Eloisa James's signature wit and warmth.
