Hannah Blankenship's father has been shopping for her husband for years now, looking for the best arrangement for himself of course, not for his daughter, and he's finally done it. Hannah believes she knows who he's selected, a disgusting viscount old enough to be her grandfather. The only way out that Hannah can think of is to rid herself of the virtue her father is using as a point of trade, so she goes to a scandalous club in search of a man to ruin her.
Duncan Cavendish happens to be haunting the same club attempting to drink away his own sorrows at the arranged marriage he's just agreed to. As the second son of an earl, he is only doing what he must to secure his inheritance but that doesn't mean he has to like it. When he meets a beautiful stranger, she proves a perfect distraction and leaves him wanting more.
But the next day when Hannah meets her intended she is shocked to find it is Duncan, the man from the club. The two decide to go through with the marriage since it will be beneficial to them both. Although they agree to have no expectations of deep feelings, they may be inevitable given the passion and connection brewing between them. Soon Duncan and Hannah must decide if keeping each other at a distance is what they truly want.
Holy chemistry between these two. They were both afraid of being vulnerable and it was sweet to see them overcome those fears and become stronger together. This was a great quick, steamy read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
