Except it\u2019s all built on a lie. When an arrogant duke strode into her home years ago, offering her a way to keep the brothel open, she agreed to his game of deception. But now that her siblings have found their happiness, Marce can finally live the life she\u2019s always wanted: one that embraces the truth. And that means severing ties with the man who has claimed too many of her days\u2014both in reality, and fantasy.<\/p>\n<p>Rowan Delconti, the Duke of Harwich, has been angry for so long: at his father, at the woman who broke apart his parents\u2019 marriage, and at the children who won is father\u2019s love. He\u2019s determined his mother won\u2019t be unhappy again\u2014even if it means pretending to be married to Marce, so that his mother will think he\u2019s found love in his life. But the beautiful madame fuels his fire like no other, and the charade starts to feel all too real.<\/p>\n<p>When Marce and Rowan\u2019s secrets finally come to light, their passion may not be enough to staunch the hurt of the past. Can two people who were so wrong for each other, realize they\u2019ve been right all along?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6166\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png?resize=113%2C51\" alt=\"\" width=\"113\" height=\"51\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Goodreads<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6156\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png?resize=158%2C45\" alt=\"\" width=\"158\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Available at:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Madame-Catches-Duke-Craven-House-ebook\/dp\/B076VRQ2FF\"><strong>Amazon<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-madame-catches-her-duke-christina-mcknight\/1127294823?ean=2940158682315\"><strong>Barnes &amp; Noble<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/the-madame-catches-her-duke-1\"><strong>Kobo<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/geo.itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/the-madame-catches-her-duke\/id1301530146?mt=11\"><strong>iBooks<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Haven\u2019t started the series yet?
