What’s dangerous, necessary, and arranged at the Lyon’s Den? A marriage of convenience between childhood friends.

Felix Canterbury, Viscount Foxton will never return to his childhood home. Nothing but nightmares there. He’s happy to gamble the house away to win a bride at the Lyon’s Den. Especially since his beloved grandfather is demanding he marry… and soon. Felix never expects the prize bride to be his childhood friend, the woman he deliberately enraged.

Miss Caroline Maxwell needs a house for the women's refuge she’s building. Even if it means landing a husband along with it. She doesn’t need love, after all. She already gave her heart away to Felix, who promptly dropped it. With the Widow of Whitehall’s help, she snags a husband and a house with ease.

The house is perfect.
The husband—and arrogant and all too virile Felix—not so much.

They agree to a marriage in name only, but when circumstances trap them in the house he hates, desire tests their resolve.

Unless Caroline can help Felix overcome his childhood ghosts, fear will shape their futures instead of love.
