Acknowledgments      

As always, I could not have written this book without the invaluable support of my critique partners. Huge thanks go out to Emma Locke, Morgan Edens and Erica Monroe for their advice and encouragement. You are the best!
 

I also want to thank my incredible street team (the Light-Skirts Brigade rocks!!) and all the readers on my VIP newsletter list and in the Dukes of War facebook group. Your enthusiasm makes the romance happen.

Thank you so much!

The Duke’s Accidental Wife

Miss Katherine Ross is a wealthy, eccentric socialite who knows precisely what she wants: No husband. No children. No candlelit tête-à-tête with the insufferably emotionless Duke of Ravenwood. She's convinced his heart is ice — until she touches that chiseled chest for herself. One lapse in judgment is all it takes to turn both their lives topsy-turvy...

The Duke of Ravenwood isn't cold and haughty, but a secret romantic who has always dreamt of marrying for love. Instead, he gets Miss Katherine Ross — a headstrong hoyden intent on unraveling his carefully ordered world. He doesn't know whether to kiss her or throttle her. Can they survive each other's company long enough to turn a compromise into love?
