Scandalous Gentlemen of St. James

Lorraine Heath

After losing his wife and daughter, Henry, Duke of Lovingdon, has retreated from society and surrendered himself to a life of reckless indulgence, determined never to love—or marry—again. Lady Grace Mabry, his spirited childhood friend, longs for a marriage founded on genuine devotion rather than wealth, rank, or polished courtship rituals, and she turns to Henry for help understanding true love. Though he initially rejects her request, Grace refuses to give up on the wounded man beneath his notorious reputation, drawing them into a dangerous reckoning with grief, loyalty, and the possibility of a second chance at happiness. Set against the glittering world of the ton, this emotionally charged historical romance explores whether a heart closed by loss can learn to hope again.
