Sensual heat melts the ice in the new Disgraced Lords novel from USA Today bestselling author Bronwen Evans, as a marriage of convenience leads to delightful pleasure—and mortal danger.
Lady Marisa Hawkstone’s nightmare is just beginning when she wakes up naked, with no memory of the night before, lying next to Maitland Spencer, the Duke of Lyttleton—a man so aloof and rational, he’s nicknamed “the Cold Duke.” A scandal ensues, in which Marisa’s beloved beau deserts her. As a compromised woman, Marisa agrees to marry Maitland. But on her wedding night, Marisa discovers the one place the duke shows emotion: in the bedroom, where the man positively scorches the sheets.
Taught from a young age to take duty seriously, Maitland cannot understand his new wife’s demands on his love and affection. Marisa’s hot-blooded spirit, however, does have its attractions—especially at night. In retrospect, it seems quite silly that he didn’t marry sooner. But being one of the Libertine Scholars requires constant vigilance, even more so when the enemy with a grudge against his closest friends targets Marisa. Now Maitland must save the woman who sets his heart aflame—or die trying.

Maitland Spencer the Duke of Lyttleton is taking his turn guarding his friend's sister, at a ball when he overhears something that he knows will hurt her. He and his best friends used to be known as the Libertine Scholars. For a reason unknown to them they are being targeted by a mystery woman. She has put several people in danger and caused a lot of heartache. While the men try to find out who she is, they must keep the women of their families safe.
Lady Marissa Hawkestone is looking forward to the man she loves asking her to marry him, hopefully at tonight's ball. When the man known to all as the Cold Duke kisses her, the life she has all planned out changes for ever.
This is a very sexy story, with a great mystery behind it. Our hero is a bit of a tortured soul. His past haunts him, and his rigid control is, he believes the only thing keeping him sane. Our heroine is a brave and inquisitive woman, with a passion for justice.
You could read this as a stand alone, but it's better to read the series in order.
