Love Only Me - Scandal Meets Love, #1

A duke who always wins. A lady who refuses to be bought. And one bargain that will undo them both.

Lady Narissa Goodwin answers to no one. She trains her own thoroughbreds, runs a secret ladies' gaming hell hidden above a fashionable modiste's shop, and has just humiliated the insufferable Duke of Blackmore by beating his prized stallion at Newmarket. So when he demands she ride for him instead, she takes great pleasure in refusing him to his handsome face.

Seth Blakey, Duke of Blackmore, does not lose. Not races, not wagers, not battles of will. And when the maddening, magnificent Lady Narissa won't be bought, he uncovers the one secret that could ruin her—and uses it to force her hand.

The bargain is simple: train his horses for the Derby, or watch the world she's built come crashing down. But every afternoon in the stables, every barbed exchange, every accidental brush of his hand pulls them deeper into a game neither of them meant to play. Because the only thing more dangerous than racing against the duke…

…is falling for him.

With her father's last dream and her hard-won freedom riding on Epsom, Narissa has a plan to beat Blackmore at his own game. What she has no defense against is the way he looks at her—as though she is a woman to be cherished, not conquered.

Some victories cost everything. This one just might be worth it.

Love Only Me is a sensual enemies-to-lovers Regency romance novella featuring a spirited, rule-breaking heroine, a brooding duke who finally meets his match, a forced bargain, simmering forced proximity, and a swoon-worthy happily ever after. Perfect for readers who like their ladies clever and their dukes thoroughly undone.
