Can she tame the shameless duke?
The brazen antics of Hugo, Duke of Grovesmoor, and the string of women to grace his bed are tabloid gold. But Eleanor Andrews, newly hired to care for the duke’s young ward, refuses to see him as anything but her boss. She desperately needs this job. No matter how gorgeous Hugo is, the stakes are simply too high...
Well acquainted with lies and betrayal, Hugo is jaded and cynical, unconcerned with dispelling the salacious rumors about him. But there’s something about Eleanor that fires his blood, and he can’t turn down the challenge to unbutton his uptight employee!
“I am the boss, Miss Andrews,” Hugo reminded her from between his teeth. “You are the employee. Everything about the way you are speaking to me is disrespectful, not to mention foolish. Why would you try to antagonize the person who pays your spectacularly generous salary?”
Eleanor’s frown smoothed out a bit, though it didn’t precisely soften. And still Hugo wanted to taste that faint crease between her brows, where the edge of her fringe kissed her skin the way he wanted to do.
“In point of fact I won’t be paid for two weeks,” she said after a moment, as if she couldn’t help herself.
Maybe she really couldn’t. He couldn’t have said why that notion washed through him like a new sort of heat.
“A notable distinction,” Hugo murmured.
And then, because he loved nothing more than complicating any given situation beyond repair, the better to make it worse, he kissed her.
And then they were in real trouble, because she tasted like magic.
