Desired by the Scarred Duke (Beastly Dukes Series Book 1)

Description

War left Lucian marked by scars society refuses to forget, and burdened by a darkness he keeps tightly controlled. Desire is a weakness he cannot afford. Marriage is a duty, not a dream.

Until Evangeline.

Innocent, intelligent, and dangerously observant, she should have been invisible beneath his roof. Instead, she becomes the one presence he cannot escape . . . or resist.

Every glance lingers too long. Every accidental touch burns. And every moment alone threatens to shatter the restraint holding him together.

Because Evangeline does not fear the beast behind Lucian’s scars. She sees the man, and awakens a hunger he has sworn never to claim.

To touch her would mean losing control. To let her go may cost him everything.
