Lady Olivia, the youngest sister of the Earl of Castleton, has no patience for the boring gentlemen of aristocratic society. She longs for a adventurous life. But her plans are thwarted when her family drags her to a country house party to meet the elusive Duke of Keswick.

Tristan Cameron, the Duke of Keswick, finds Olivia in his stables. She believes him to be the stable master, and he doesn't dissuade her of the notion. He has no interest in entertaining one of the spoiled, self-indulgent ladies who've invaded his home. Except, Olivia is neither of those things, and their kiss during a ride results in combustible passion.

And a potential scandal.

Olivia is relieved when the handsome stable master comes to her aid as her alibi, but that relief fades to anger when she finds herself betrothed to the harsh, foul-tempered duke.

Tristan believes he's been trapped by a scheming, title-seeking lady. To make matters worse, she's utterly captivating. He plans on leaving her behind in the country immediately after their vows, but Tristan soon finds himself battling temptation and Olivia's stubborn determination to be the Duchess he doesn't believe he deserves . . .

Contains mature themes.
