USA Today bestselling author Loretta Chase continues her Difficult Dukes series with this charming brother´s best friend second-chance historical romance. Of all the dukes in all the world, why does it have to be him? Lady Alice Ancaster needs a husband, and fast, because her reckless brother is going to get himself killed, leaving the dukedom--and her future--in their repellent cousin´s clutches. The Duke of Blackwood has known Alice since childhood, and they´ve always had a special connection. But years ago he broke it, when he chose a riotous life with his two best friends instead of a reasonable one with her. The trouble is, the tall, dark, sardonic rogue keeps turning up exactly when needed, and ready--though he sometimes needs a push--to play the hero, if only for as long as it takes. Being irresistibly drawn to the Wrong Man is not convenient, but when events come to a crisis, Alice has to make a choice. The question is, can she live with it?
