They call him the Winter Wolf. Nicholas March, the Duke of Richeforte, has few morals, fewer friends, and a notorious lack of honor. And his heart? What remains of it is cold, desolate and locked away. He learned long ago the lessons of betrayal. Never trust a woman. Recognize others will expect the worst of him. And no matter the cost, always retain control of any situation.
Grace Willsdown has no patience for the silly games of London’s society and no desire for the imprisonment of marriage. When a secret lien against her home is revealed, everything she treasures lies clenched in Nicholas March’s palm. She must make the Devil’s bargain to save it all. Five nights of secret pleasure and all claims will be dissolved. Neither Grace or Nicholas anticipate the depths of their desire after that first night. Consuming. Blistering. Tender and brutally passionate. The boundaries become distorted. What is the part of the bargain? And what is true emotion? Will they brave the storms and fires to unlock their love? Or turn their backs when their five nights are done?
