Book 1 in The Chances, a brand-new 20-book Regency romance series by USA Today bestselling author Emily E K Murdoch.

One duke. One desperate lady. One scandalous marriage of convenience that could ruin them both, or set them free.

William Chance, Duke of Cothrom, is tired of chasing after his wayward brothers. As the eldest, he's always the one salvaging the family name, staving off gossip, and keeping the ton's attention away from their latest scandal. He craves stability, order, and quiet. A marriage of convenience might offer exactly that.

What he doesn't need? A wild-eyed woman demanding he marry her on the spot.

Alice Fox-Edwards has lived with ruin once. She has no intention of letting it happen again. With a blackmailer closing in and her future on the line, she needs protection, fast. And who better than a proper duke with a spotless reputation?

They agree to a quick marriage. No attachments. No emotions. No pasts allowed.

But secrets never stay buried for long. And as passion flares and deception unravels, William and Alice must decide whether this unexpected match is just a matter of convenience... or the beginning of a love neither dared to dream.

Tropes you'll love:
? Marriage of convenience
? Fallen woman / secret past
? Protective duke with a reputation to uphold
? Blackmail & hidden truths
? Opposites attract
? Found family dynamics
? Slow-burn steam with emotional payoff

Get ready for The Chances, twenty steamy, heartfelt, and gloriously messy romances featuring the four Chance brothers, their children... and all the women wild enough to love them.

This full-length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a guaranteed happily ever after and no cliffhangers.
