Two Nights with the Duke

A runaway bride. A duke with a sinful reputation. Can she trust his offer of love and protection?

Malcolm MacRae, Duke of Camborne, is one of the ton's most sought-after bachelors. But when his latest scandal is too much even for him, he decides to return home to Scotland to contemplate his rakehell ways. However, a broken coach wheel strands him in the seacoast village of Arbroth, where he secures accommodations at an inn for the next two nights. What he does not expect is to find the loveliest lady he has ever set eyes upon fast asleep in his bed. Is it a sign? Is he ready to reform his rakish ways? And when Lady Jocelyn MacRaine can only be saved by finding herself a husband, will he step up and offer her marriage?

Lady Jocelyn had no idea being a runaway bride could be so difficult. She is now short of funds, cold, hungry, and stranded in Arbroth—quite a fall for an earl's coddled daughter. When she overhears two maids at the inn discussing one of their guests and learns he is not expected to return for the night, she convinces the innkeeper's naïve son that she is the guest's wife. She falls asleep in the comfort of his bed, intending to leave before he returns—and is then rudely awakened when the impossibly handsome man returns early. What is she to do now?
