The Scandalous Love of a Duke: A opposites attract sizzling Regency romance from Jane Lark

A sensual Regency romance full of secrets and a love powerful enough to rewrite the rules.

Can she conquer his pride - and society's prejudice?

John Harding, Duke of Pembroke, has everything: wealth, power and status. But beneath the facade is a man bruised by betrayal, haunted by loss and trained never to trust. Love, to John, is a myth.

Years ago, Katherine Spencer secretly loved her brother's best friend, John. But she has always known her place: born of scandal and followed by whispers and prejudice. A future with a duke was never for her. Now, she has the chance of marriage to a respectable clergyman. But when John strides back into her life, will Katherine compromise her reputation and let everything unravel?

The sixth novel in the addictively passionate Regency romance series The Marlow Family Secrets, for fans of Beverley Watts, Eloisa James and Bridgerton. Perfect for readers who love STEAMY, SPICY historical and regency romance, opposites attract, rags to riches and second chances.
