Blurb:: It was a marriage of convenience -- except the innocent bride was determined to transform it into one of love.

Young Tessa Astley fell in love with the rakish Duke of Kittridge after one stolen kiss on a perfect spring day. Now, years later, her fairy tale seems to finally come true when she weds the wickedly handsome lord. Only Jered Mandeville doesn't want a soulmate, just a proper duchess hidden away on his country estate to beget heirs. He certainly doesn't see a place for his sheltered bride in his decadent life in Regency London. So Tessa starts a campaign to win her husband's heart by invading his home, his reckless adventures, and his bed, bedeviling Jered's senses with passion and boldness. And just perhaps she might be able to convince the cynical duke to feel again, once upon a wicked time.
