Deceiving the Duke

Callum leaned closer to her throat. "Why would you tease me this way? It's torture."

"Torture? You know nothing about torture!" Her eyes narrowed, and she bit her bottom lip. "What do you think it's like to keep such a secret from you? To have these feelings for you and be unable to say a word for fear I'd ruin everything? Not just for me, but for my sister."

His eyes bore into her. "You have feelings for me?"

With that, she lifted up on her tiptoes and pressed her lips to his, letting her emotions break free for the first time in her life.

If that didn't answer his question, nothing would.

***

In her first season out on the ton, twins Sam and Sabrina Acton have gone to London to find Sabrina a husband. However, it seems Sam is the one in romantic trouble. Terribly burned in a fire when she was younger, Samantha knew she would never be able to find a husband. The best she could do was try to save their family home from a distant-male-cousin. She's spent her whole life pretending to be a man, a willing sacrifice to keep her sister happy. It never occurred to Sam that a man could fall in love with her.

Until she met Callum.

Will she be able to keep up the charade, or will her true feelings bring everything to light?
