Can she conquer his pride - and society's prejudice?

John Harding, Duke of Pembroke, has everything: wealth, power and status. But beneath the facade is a man bruised by betrayal, haunted by loss and trained never to trust. Love, to John, is a myth.

Years ago, Katherine Spencer secretly loved her brother's best friend, John. But she has always known her place: born of scandal and followed by whispers and prejudice. A future with a duke was never for her. Now, she has the chance of marriage to a respectable clergyman. But when John strides back into her life, will Katherine compromise her reputation and let everything unravel?
