    "description": "They call him the Duke of Ruin.\n\nTo an undaunted wallflower, he's just the beast next door. \n\nWealthy and ruthless, Gabriel Duke clawed his way from the lowliest slums to the pinnacle of high society\u2014and now he wants to get even.\n\nLoyal and passionate, Lady Penelope Campion never met a lost or wounded creature she wouldn\u2019t take into her home and her heart.\n\nWhen her imposing\u2014and attractive\u2014new neighbor demands she clear out the rescued animals, Penny sets him a challenge. She will part with her precious charges, if he can find them loving homes.\n\nDone, Gabriel says. How hard can it be to find homes for a few kittens?\n\nAnd a two-legged dog.\n\nAnd a foul-mouthed parrot.\n\nAnd a goat, an otter, a hedgehog . . .\n\nEasier said than done, for a cold-blooded bastard who wouldn\u2019t know a loving home from a workhouse. Soon he\u2019s covered in cat hair, knee-deep in adorable, and bewitched by a shyly pretty spinster who defies his every attempt to resist. Now she\u2019s set her mind and heart on saving him.\n\nNot if he ruins her first.",
