Some Like It Wicked (Daring Duchesses) - Tapa dura

Rupert Stirling, Duke of Stratton, has long since acquired the nickname DEVIL. And with outrageous exploits both in and out of ladies' bedchambers, my, has he earned it! Risque behaviour is beyond Pandora Maybury, widowed Duchess of Wyndwood - although with her dark secret she's far too well acquainted with being the subject of ribald gossip for her liking. If only the Ton knew just how innocent she really was...including Rupert who, after rescuing her from a compromising situation, seems intent on wickedly compromising her himself!
