Betting Against The Scoundrel (Dukes and Secrets #4)
Mariah Stone

Broken and devastated, the former Duke of Grandhampton, Lord Spencer Seaton, returns home from the war to find he has lost everything. His only goal is to exact vengeance upon the man who took everything from him.
Nothing will stop Spencer... except, Miss Joanna Digby—intelligent, cunning, and mysterious. A wallflower, she conceals her true self behind a facade, only to have her family threatened by the same man who ruined Spencer.
But as fate would have it, Lord Seaton stands in her path, and she in his.
And yet, it is his unlikely rival that begins to revive Lord Spencer's soul.
He proposes a deal: If he gets evidence against their mutual adversary first, she must surrender her virginity to him. If she is the first to procure the evidence, he will stop his chase.
One scandalous wager, two determined rivals, and three dangerous days spent in close proximity.
Can love resurrect the soul of the man who came back from the dead?
