The Duke’s Midnight Bargain: A Steamy BWWM Interracial Multicultural Forbidden Love Taboo Standalone Historical Regency Romance

THEA
I never meant to become his mistress in the eyes of London's aristocracy. But when the powerful Duke of Westmoreland offered me enough money to save my brother's life, how could I refuse? The contract was three months pretending to be his lover, nothing more. Just business. I'd keep my heart safe.
But I never expected his touch to set me on fire. Never imagined the way his ice-blue eyes would soften when we're alone. Never dreamed that behind his cold facade was a man fighting for justice in a world that only sees titles and skin color.
Now, with enemies threatening his family legacy and my body craving his every night, I'm breaking the most important rule of our arrangement—I'm falling for a nobleman in an era where a woman of color could never be his duchess.

I needed a shield against marriage-minded debutantes parading in white muslin before me each Season. A temporary mistress to focus on my political work. The beautiful, intelligent Theodora Jenkins was the perfect solution—a business arrangement with clear terms.

As danger threatens everything I've built, I'm facing an impossible this woman wasn't supposed to claim my heart. But now that she has, I'll risk everything—my title, my position, my very life—to make her mine. Not for three months, but forever.
