Season of the Scoundrel

A determined lady journalist. A powerful duke. A passion neither of them expected.

As the sister-in-law of a duke, Ivy Bridewell is expected to follow in her older sisters’ footsteps and make a fortuitous match. But Ivy doubts she’ll ever find a man who can tolerate her quirks and relentless curiosity. Tenacious to the point of obsession, she’s set on becoming a lady journalist, driven to uncover dastardly crimes and expose the social issues that weigh on her heart.
Ross Emerson, Duke of Blackbourne, is a forward-thinking duke focused on diversifying his investments to avoid the financial pitfalls of his peers. His latest acquisition: a London newspaper. When his friend, Griffin, Duke of Edgerton, asks him to offer his sister-in-law an internship at the paper, Ross reluctantly agrees.
Ivy eagerly seizes the opportunity to prove herself, but she soon clashes with the formidable Duke of Blackbourne. Convinced the dangerously handsome industrialist might be corrupt, she launches an investigation of her own. Yet as her search for the truth takes an unexpected turn, she finds herself allied with her enigmatic boss—and discovers the greatest threat he poses is to her heart.
