To Wed a Wicked Duke

A marriage made for convenience. A passion neither bargained for.

Lady Philippa “Pippa” Grant needs only two things to be content: her independence and a very large library. Adrian Blackthorne, the scandalous Duke of Strathmore, needs a duchess who will silence the gossips without expecting his heart in return.

Their bargain is simple—she gets his books, he gets her respectability. But life under the same gilded roof proves anything but simple. Between late-night chess matches, whispered confessions, and a kiss that changes everything, their careful arrangement begins to smoulder.

When rivals, scandals, and meddling family threaten their fragile truce, Pippa and Adrian must decide—cling to the safety of their bargain, or risk everything for the one thing they never planned on… love.

A witty, slow-burn Regency romance with sharp banter, stolen moments, and a library worth marrying for.
