The Notorious Duke — Deborah Simmons

The rake's wicked wager!

Pagan Penhurst finds himself at a loose end in Brighton, until a friend wagers he can find a woman who can't be swayed by Pagan's notorious charms.

The duke accepts -- only to find that his quarry is to be Scholastica Hornsby, a young innocent who wants nothing to do with the infamous rake! She's far too inexperienced for his usual methods of seduction, but Pagan is determined to win his wager…

A delightful Regency novella by Deborah Simmons, originally published in 2002 as part of The Love Match collection
