    "description": "When girl meets Duke, their marriage breaks all the rules\u2026 \n\nSince his return from war, the Duke of Ashbury\u2019s to-do list has been short and anything but sweet: brooding, glowering, menacing London ne\u2019er-do-wells by night. Now there\u2019s a new item on the list. He needs an heir\u2014which means he needs a wife. When Emma Gladstone, a vicar\u2019s daughter turned seamstress, appears in his library wearing a wedding gown, he decides on the spot that she\u2019ll do.\n\nHis terms are simple:\n- They will be husband and wife by night only.\n- No lights, no kissing. \n- No questions about his battle scars.\n- Last, and most importantly\u2026 Once she\u2019s pregnant with his heir, they need never share a bed again.\n\nBut Emma is no pushover. She has a few rules of her own:\n- They will have dinner together every evening.\n- With conversation.\n- And unlimited teasing.\n- Last, and most importantly\u2026 Once she\u2019s seen the man beneath the scars, he can\u2019t stop her from falling in love\u2026",
