He needs a wife to save his crumbling estate.
She needs a husband to save her family.
Neither expects love.
Feared by society and haunted by the fire that scarred him, Alaric Ashbourne, the Duke of Hollowmoor, has spent years hidden behind the walls of his lonely estate. But with his inheritance slipping away and his tenants depending on him, he has only one choice left—find a bride before everything is lost.
