To save her home, she must make a daring deal. But if her deception is discovered, it would destroy everything she holds dear.

Life as she knew it is ending for Hannah, the young Duchess of Stanhope. Her elderly husband is dying, and without a son to inherit the dukedom, her beloved home is about to fall into the hands of his despicable nephew. A disaster for everyone who depends on the estate. But when her husband asks her to get pregnant by Gabriel Sinclair, the Earl of Brentworth and the duke's bastard son, she balks at the idea. What decent woman would accept such a proposition? Only a desperate one.

Gabriel Sinclair's life has been a lie overshadowed by strife. Yet he's shocked to learn the Duke of Stanhope is his real father, and scandalized when the duke asks him to get his wife with child. An honorable man would refuse. The duke is persuasive, but by far the greatest temptation is the duchess herself. A woman he's admired from afar, never dreaming he could have. 

Caught in a web of deception, danger and guilt, a powerful love blooms between them, but when disaster strikes, Hannah will have to choose between her reputation and her heart. Accepting the deal cost Gabriel his honor, but protecting the woman he loves and the child they created, may cost him everything.
