Sensual heat melts the ice in the new Disgraced Lords novel
from USA Today bestselling author Bronwen Evans, as a marriage of convenience
leads to delightful pleasure—and mortal danger.
Lady Marisa Hawkestone’s nightmare is just beginning when
she wakes up naked, with no memory of the night before, lying next to Maitland
Spencer, the Duke of Lyttleton—a man so aloof and rational he’s nicknamed “the
Cold Duke.” A scandal ensues, in which Marisa’s beloved beau deserts her. As a
compromised woman, Marisa agrees to marry Maitland. But on her wedding night,
Marisa discovers the one place the duke shows emotion: in the bedroom, where
the man positively scorches the sheets.
Taught from a young age to take duty seriously, Maitland
cannot understand his new wife’s demands on his love and affection. Marisa’s
hot-blooded spirit, however, does have its attractions—especially at night. In
retrospect, it seems quite silly that he didn’t marry sooner. But being one of
the Libertine Scholars requires constant vigilance, even more so when the enemy
with a grudge against his closest friends targets Marisa. Now Maitland must
save the woman who sets his heart aflame—or die trying.

Excerpt
“Of course I have been kissed,” She brazened.
He leaned his inviting lips so close they were almost upon
hers. “Liar.”
“I do not lie. If I were a man I’d call you out.”
“But you’re not a man, Marisa. You are very much a woman.”
With that, he ran the tip of his tongue over her bottom lip.
She drew in a deep breath, surprised at her body’s sudden, feminine reaction to
his words. Her stomach clenched into a tight, silken fist. Never before had the
sound of her name from Maitland’s lips evoked such overwhelming sensations. Her
body hummed with desire. Maybe it was just the way his voice seemed to caress,
deepening to a low, dark pitch that was almost dangerous. Maybe it was the
sudden glint of need she caught in his eyes that made her wonder how a man with
obvious fire in his soul could let the world think he was cold and aloof. How
had this powerful man’s upbringing shaped his life, and why did she suddenly
care?
