Eloisa James returns with another fabulous love in her NY Moments bestselling Desperate Duchesses series!

As a female, Emilia Gwendolyn Carrington told the annoying future Duke of Pindar that she would marry any man in the world before him-so years afterwards she is horrified to realize that she’s nowhere else to turn.

Evander Septimus Brody has his own reasons for agreeing to Mia’s audacious proposal, but there’s a very important factor he won’t give his inconvenient wife: himself.

Instead, he gives Mia a devil’s bargain . he will spend four evenings a year with her. Four nights, and nothing more. And those only once she begs on their behalf.

Which Mia will never do.

Right now Vander faces the most important problem of his lifestyle: he must seduce his personal wife in order to get her heart-and no matter what it takes, this is the one battle he can’t afford to reduce.
