A lady's secret can be a duke's undoing. Scandalous paintings of the ton are taking London by storm, and Joss Rainville, Duke of Somerton, is the latest target.

Flattering as the nude is, it simply won't do. Left a failing dukedom by his late father, Joss needs hislatest venture, sole proprietorship in London's newest theatre, to be successful.

Any scandal and investors disappear-which he sorely needs. He's going to track down this Anonymous artist and make them pay dearly.

Only Joss doesn't expect his trap to catch Lady Ceranora Castlebury, the most frustrating female of his acquaintance. .

. and the most irresistible.

Fed up with aristocratic, over-entitled men dictating the rules of society, Nora sets about putting them in their proper place. A brilliant artist, she takes great satisfaction in painting noblemen in the nude, giving them a taste of what it's like to be a woman, to feel exposed and powerless.

When she paints the Duke of Somerton and he miraculously tracks her down, she realizes she's perhaps gone too far. But she refuses to apologize.

Men don't, why should she? Oh no, Nora won't apologize to the duke for the insubordinate attitude, or the argument. .

. but she will apologize for the kiss that lands them unexpectedly in wedlock.

One passionate kiss in a moonlit garden and their fates are sealed. Forced to marry, they cannot deny their attraction.

But when Nora's secret is uncovered and revenge comes calling, they discover they cannot deny their hearts, either. Now Joss must save Nora and their love .
