Lillian Phillips could not imagine how her quiet, simple life had come to this. Blackmailed by the Mad Duke of Thornwood into accepting one wild dare after another…all because of a pocket watch. Desperate to recover he beloved father’s pawned timepiece, Lily did something reckless and dangerous and delicious—something that led to a night she’d never forget.
He Has a Reputation for Scandal
When Devon Grey, Duke of Thornwood, runs into the mesmerizing, intoxicating, thieving woman who literally stole from his bedchamber—along with his new pocket watch—Devon plots his revenge. If the daring wench likes to play games, he’s happy to oblige. After all, what’s the use of being the Mad Duke if you can’t have some fun? But the last laugh just might be on him.
A good beginning to a new series by this debut author. Lily will not be bullied by her brothers. She will do whatever it takes to thwart her brother's plans even if it means helping the "Mad Duke' with his schemes. The outcome of the schemes are funny and entertaining. It was fun to watch Devon go from wanting revenge to wanting to the best outcome for Lily.
