Perfect for fans of Victoria Alexander and Betina Krahn!

A thoroughly roguish nobleman and a devoted lady entomologist have absolutely nothing in common—or do they? Love is far from scientific when it truly blooms …
 
In the eyes of the ton, Lady Sara Elsmere is so firmly on the shelf, she might as well be nailed in place. Not that Sara minds. She is far more concerned about her study of butterflies than society’s gossip. Of course, it’s also true that the nervous laughter that ruined Sara’s debut—and every social event thereafter—is a bit embarrassing. She can hardly help it—men are quite nerve-wracking. Except for one: the rake who pulls her into a dark room during a costume ball and kisses her senseless. He doesn’t make her titter, he makes her burn . . .
 
Ian McAllister, the Duke of Dorchester, is perfectly satisfied to remain a rogue for the rest of his days. But when he finds he has kissed the wrong shepherdess, albeit a decidedly luscious one, he’s faced with a dilemma. His indiscretion with an innocent may cost him a lucrative business arrangement—and his two scapegrace wards need a maternal influence they can’t scare away. Promising Sara the use of her dowry to fund her studies seals the pair’s businesslike deal. But as they embark on their life together, they discover that their mutual attraction has sparked a desire not easily tamed—and certain feelings each of them are surprised to own. Can their matrimonial experiment possibly end in real love?

Praise for Never Marry a Scandalous Duke

Praise for The Infamous Lords Series

“Miller lightens the stressful moments with a delightful child, a hilarious dog, a harried sister and other equally charming secondary characters in Never Dare a Wicked Earl’s engrossing pages. This first novel will surely have readers looking forward to the second in the series.” —Bookpage on Never Dare a Wicked Earl

“A charming historical romance that had me laughing out loud…A highly enjoyable read, packed with danger and intrigue, snappy banter, sexy times, secret pain and past heartaches, and a happy-ever-after- that’s exactly what I wanted.” —NPR on Never Dare a Wicked Earl

“This richly written slow-burning romance, infused with humor, will charm readers and keep them turning the pages in anticipating of how the truth will come to light and how attraction will lead to action.” —Booklist on Never Deceive a Viscount

“Smart writing and a cast of memorable characters make up for the too-convenient plot points that drive this story forward. Miller successfully uses beloved character trait tropes—the smart, independent heroine and misunderstood hero—to create a couple wholly deserving of each other.” —Booklist on Never Kiss a Notorious Marquess

“Miller delivers memorable characters in the third Infamous Lords Victorian…Light and sweet.” —Publishers Weekly on Never Kiss a Notorious Marquess

“Miller (Never Kiss a Notorious Marquess) continues her “Infamous Lords” series with a charming entry featuring a surprisingly sweet hero engaging in a romantic rivalry to win a most worthy heroine.” —Library Journal on Never Conspire with a Sinful Baron
 
“Miller weaves a tangled web around her central couple, but their compatibility in the midst of all the jealousy and romantic intrigue never wavers, and smooth-talking Elliot’s secret heart of gold is sure to make romance fans swoon. This is a charmer.” —Publishers Weekly on Never Conspire with a Sinful Baron

“A thief and a libertine fall in love on a bed of lies in Miller’s passionate, intoxicating fifth Infamous Lords Victorian romance...Though both are keeping secrets, their honest mutual support irrevocably bonds them even as they wrestle with how truthful they can be with one another. Justice, deception, and loyalty form the core of this entrancing affair.” -—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review, on Never Mix Sin With Pleasure
