Settling the Duke's Debts: A Steamy Historical Romance (A Passionate London Season)

The estate is failing. The creditors are circling. And the new Duke of Wyndrake is reviewing a list of wealthy brides with the cold pragmatism of a man who has no other choice. Ottilie Greenall is not what he expected. She does not simper. She does not defer. She reads his debt structure in under a minute, identifies savings his steward missed, and presents conditions for the marriage that no previous duchess would have dared to demand. He accepts. Not because he wants to. Because she is right. As Ottilie transforms the estate, earning the tenants' trust, renegotiating supplier contracts, designing systems that turn crisis into stability, the arrangement becomes something more dangerous than either anticipated. His control begins to slip. Her composure begins to crack. And the fire that burns between them in the ducal chamber threatens to consume the careful distance they have both relied upon to survive. Then a single sentence, spoken before witnesses, tears the partnership apart. And the woman who rebuilt Wyndrake must decide whether the man who broke her trust deserves the chance to repair it. His title. Her terms. Their fire.
