Sebastian is appalled to find a suffragist squad has infiltrated his ducal home, but the real threat is his impossible feelings for green-eyed beauty Annabelle.

21. Scarlett Peckham
The Duke I Tempted
by Scarlett Peckham
Heโs controlled. Meticulous. Immaculate. No one would expect the proper duke to be a member of Londonโs most illicit secret club. Least of all: his future wife.
Having overcome financial ruin and redeemed his family name to become the most legendary investor in London, the Duke of Westmead needs to secure his holdings by producing an heir. Which means he must find a wife who wonโt discover his secret craving to spend his nights on his kneesโor make demands on his long scarred-over heart.
Poppy Cavendish is not that type of woman. An ambitious self-taught botanist designing the garden ballroom in which Westmead plans to woo a bride, Poppy has struggled against convention all her life to secure her hard-won independence. She wants the capital to expand her exotic nursery businessโnot a husband.
But there is something so compelling about Westmead, with his starchy bearing and impossibly kind eyesโthat when an accidental scandal makes marriage to the duke the only means to save her nursery, Poppy worries she wants more than the title he is offering.
The arrangement is meant to be just business. A greenhouse for an heir. But Poppy yearns to unravel her husbandโs secretsโand to tempt the duke to risk his heart.
