The Duke of Pain (e-book) (used book) | Karyn Gerrard | bookbook.eu

Description

The oldest and only remaining original member of The Rakes of St. Regent's Park, Gideon Broyles, the Duke of Watford, has grown weary of his debauched escapades. Due to his wretched past, he often refers to himself as the Duke of Pain. He selfishly breezed through life with no thought for anything or anyone. All that changed when Gideon met Olivia Durham at an exclusive club. The passionate encounter has him reeling, as he never experienced these powerful emotions before.

Olivia also has a dark past. Hiding behind a fictitious persona, she provides a particular service to her clients. One that doesn't involve physical intimacy, for Olivia cannot stand to be touched. In all her years at the club, no man has sparked her interest--until Gideon. Despite trying to ignore the intense feelings swirling between them, Olivia finds the darkly handsome duke hard to resist. When secrets from her past come to light, the complications become insurmountable.

There are multiple obstacles to overcome, including shared doubts about their capacity to feel--anything. For two emotionally closed-off people to find and accept enduring happiness? Gideon and Olivia must believe that love can conquer all.
