ABOUT THE BOOK~
He
was once happily bedding and boxing, but in the newest DUKES BEHAVING BADLY
novel, Nicholas Smithfield has inherited a title and a bride…
To
keep his estate afloat, the new Duke of Gage must honor an agreement to marry
Lady Isabella. Stunningly beautiful, utterly tempting,
she’s also a bag of wedding night nerves, so Nicholas decides to wait to do his
duty-even if it means heading to the boxing saloon every day to punch away his
frustration.
Groomed
her whole life to become the perfect duchess Isabella longs for independence, a
dream that is gone forever. As her husband, Nicholas can do whatever he
likes-but, to Isabella’s surprise the notorious rake instead begins a gentle
seduction that is melting every inch of her reserve, night by night…
To
his utter shock, Nicholas’s discovers that none of his previous exploits were
half as pleasurable as wooing his own wife. But has the realm’s most
disreputable Duke found the one woman who can bring him to his knees-and leave
him there?

"And then
what will you do to me?” Nicholas didn’t care so much for the particulars of
the response—he knew the woman currently sitting on his lap would do what he
wanted her to, and he would be gentlemanly enough to ensure she found enjoyment
as well.
He was a
very egalitarian lover.
“What do
you want me to do to you?” she countered.
Clearly,
she did not know that when he asked a question, he wanted an answer, not
another question. He suppressed the feeling of irritation and, yes, boredom,
and concentrated instead on placing a strawberry between her breasts, then
lowering his mouth to capture the succulent fruit. Of the strawberry, not her
breast. That appetizing treat would be for later.
He put his
mouth to her ear and spoke, so that neither of the two ladies, one on either
side of him, could hear. “I want to keep your mouth busy so you can’t speak.
And when you are able to speak, you’ll be screaming my name.”
She
wriggled on his lap, her plush arse riding his cock, which had already jerked
to attention. She leaned her head back on his shoulder. “I’ve heard about you,
m’lord, and I am very eager to find out if what they say is true.”
Nicholas
wrapped his hands around her waist and slid his thumbs up so they were in the
soft crease under her breasts.
This was
his favorite part of being with a woman—the anticipation, wondering what her
face would look like as she came apart, wondering how her body would feel under
his hands, how she’d want him to take her. The actual doing of it, well, that
was pleasurable as well, but none of the women he’d been with had lived up to
his expectations.
But each
time, with each new woman, he hoped this would be the one. This female would be
able to send him to a new height of ecstasy, of wanting, of being able to lose
himself, forget thinking just for a few moments of bliss; would be equal to him
in bed, in conversation, in life.
Not that he
thought he’d find that kind of woman here, in a house of ill repute, no matter
how well it catered to men of his class. But he wasn’t particularly interested
in courting a young lady of his own class only to find, once he was married,
that she was no true companion to him in bed or in conversation, but that he
was now married to her—for life.
He’d
considered it very seriously when he’d met a lady a year or so ago—but she’d
entered into another engagement before he could figure out if he actually
wanted to or not. So he remained single, and singly determined not to be wed,
at least not unless he was absolutely certain about the wife in question.
