Two strangers are shocked to wake up together in a ramshackle country inn—and now they must solve the mystery behind the embarrassing scandal! “Vile seducer of women!” Of all the accusations Gregory, Duke of Halstead, has ever had leveled at him, this is perhaps the most offensive and the least accurate. But as he has just awakened naked in bed with no memory of the night before—next to a beautiful stranger—perhaps it’s time to reevaluate . . . When she regains consciousness, innocent Prudence is just as shocked. The duke can’t be rid of her fast enough—until he takes pity on her plight and rescues her from a local ruffian’s menacing leers. But as these two strangers begin to unravel the plot behind the scandalous circumstances that led them into such a compromising position, she discovers the delicious consequences of finding herself in bed with . . . a duke!
