Goodreads Synopsis
Bookish Arabella Bromley never gave a fig for society’s rules—until her sister ran off with a man below her station. Now Arabella is desperate to restore her family’s ruined reputation to favor amongst the ton. She’ll have to marry quickly and well. But in order to carry off her plan, Arabella needs a duke… and she has just the rakish fellow in mind.
The Duke of Whittsley has an ungentlemanly tendency to disregard the rules. Unfortunately, a sense of mischief doesn’t excuse a high-ranking noble from family duty—especially where it concerns producing a son. And that’s where he can’t quite resist Arabella’s distinctly outrageous plan: if he saves her family, she’ll give him an heir.
Now the deal’s been struck. They have one year to achieve their goals and ten iron-clad rules to keep them on track. Like long, scorching kisses and ensuring they’re both exquisitely satisfied. And the only thing that could ruin their plan is the one thing they never planned on: love.

Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
When Arabella's sister runs off with a man below their station, Arabella is forced to repair the family's reputation, and so plans to marry in order to do so. Turning to the Duke of Whittsley, she gives him a proposition - marry and she'll bear his sons, and in return, he'll restore the family. But, there are rules for their bargain, and a year in which to succeed. And as the year progresses, both soon find that they might be falling in love, once and for all.
A true marriage of convenience is a joy to read, and this one was fantastic. Both Arabella and Silas were upfront with their needs and wants before the marriage, and went into it without any misconceptions. I liked how quick a read this book was, as well as being one you could switch off too. It was a great romantic read for a cold winters afternoon.
