The Duke's Midnight Lesson: A Steamy Regency Romantic Comedy Where Love Is the Most Scandalous Lesson of All (The Hush, Duchess!)

The “Kiss Bandit” is married—but his honeymoon is over before it even begins. Adrian Hawthorne, Duke of Blackmere, has finally achieved the impossible: he has made a fragile, passionate peace with his quiet, stunning wife Celia. But the morning papers explode with a headline that ruins everything. A famous actress, Isabella Dubois, claims that the duke once promised her his heart—and may have left her with a living consequence of their affair. Overnight, London's most popular charmer becomes the most hunted man in town. His reputation is in tatters, the Crown threatens exile, and his mother demands that he quickly set things right—by staging a love marriage so convincing that it will stifle the gossip. There is only one obstacle: his wife. Celia meets the chaos with uncanny calm. In the ballroom, she is ice. In the bedroom, she is fire. Adrian can't decide if she's punishing him or driving him mad. Desperate to prove his innocence—and win back her attention—he devises his boldest plan yet: a new ducal duty he calls “The Midnight Lessons”—a curriculum of private, scorching lessons in the art of passion. He will teach his wife how to behave like a woman in love. Unfortunately, his “student” turns out to be a silent, stunning expert who destroys his lessons kiss by kiss. Now the duke faces his most ludicrous dilemma yet: a scandal he cannot refute and a wife he cannot outwit. He came to teach her passion... But in the end, she may be the one teaching him a lesson. A duchess, a duke, and a curriculum of chaos. The midnight lessons were meant to save his reputation—not ruin his self-control.
