They are masters of seduction, London's greatest lovers . . . Renowned for his bedchamber prowess, Ransom Seymour, the Duke of Ainsley, owes a debt to a friend. But the payment expected is most shocking, even to an unrepentant rake—for he's being asked to provide his friend's exquisite wife with what she most dearly covets: a child. Living for pleasure, they will give their hearts to no one . . . Lady Jayne Seymour, Marchioness of Walfort, is furious that such a scandalous agreement would be made. If she acquiesces, there must be rules: no kissing . . . and, certainly, no pleasure. Until love takes them by surprise. But unexpected things occur with the surprisingly tender duke—especially once Lady Jayne discovers the rogue can make her dream again . . . and Ransom realizes he's found the one woman he truly cannot live without.

Absolutely perfect romance filled with great dialogue and moments of humour amidst all the angst. Loved everything about this, and really, really wondered how this couple was goi...
This one was my favourite from the whole series :) I loved Tess[the Duchess] and Leo the most :D
This historical romance had a really good plot and an interesting ending but the action in the beginning was so slow with the characters mentally analyzing everything. I skimmed a lot. Lady Jayne's disabled husband wants her to have a child by his friend the Duke of Ainsley.
This was such a good read. I’ve been looking for something sweet but not fluffy lately and this, for me, fit the bill.
