Publisher's Summary

When a wager goes wrong....

Painfully shy Jane Huxley is the furthest thing from a diamond of the first water. Bookish, bespectacled, and, well, plain, she never expected to befriend a dissolute charmer like Colin Lacey, much less agree to help him retrieve a lost family heirloom. Fortunately, he is nothing like his cold, rigid older brother. Unfortunately, he is not above deception if it means winning a wager. And that puts Jane in a most precarious position.

A formidable duke will marry a plain Jane....

For Harrison Lacey, the Duke of Blackmore, protecting his family honor is not a choice, it is a necessity. So, when his cad of a brother humiliates the unwitting Lady Jane, Harrison must make it right, even if it means marrying the chit himself.

And a marriage of convenience will become so much more....

Her reputation hanging by a thread, Jane agrees to wed the arrogant Duke of Blackmore, although she's convinced it will result in frostbite. Only after lingering glances lead to devastating kisses does she begin to suspect the truth: Perhaps - just perhaps - her duke is not as cold as he appears.

Contains mature themes.

Amazing story of Jane Huxley, a shy, unassuming bookworm and Harrison Lacey, the Duke of Blackmore, one of the most starched characters you will ever meet. Blackmore is determined to have a marriage in name only, but can't help but be intrigued by his new wife. Jane, plain Jane, as she is known, is also expecting a cold marriage, so why does her new husband intrigue her so much? Loved everything about this story and watching these two blossom and come into their true selves was nothing short of spectacular. Can't recommend enough. I "read" the audio version of this book, and found Mary Sarah, the narrator, had a good descriptive voice and easy to listen to.
