The Duke's Return

by Malia Martin

When Trevor Phillips finally returns home to claim his inheritance, he's astonished to find the estate in shambles. Still, he has no great desire to be rusticating in the country and it's only the enchantingly beautiful--and shockingly young--Dowager Duchess, Sara, who captures the rake's very masculine interest. But while Trevor is determined to lure Sara into his arms, she is equally determined to entice this confirmed bachelor into doing his duty by finding him a bride. Trevor has made it quite clear that nothing could be more boring than to marry a nice debutante and produce an heir. And in Sara he discovers a passionate woman who is unlike any other he's ever known. But what he hasn't yet told her is that he has a plan of his own ... and her future depends on her answer to his proposal.
