When Duncan Wentworth comes across a stranger in the poacher-infested woods of his estate, he offers the lady aid. Matilda is whip-smart, she can read Duncan's horrible penmanship, and when she wears his reading glasses all Duncan can think about is naughty Latin poetry. Widowed duchess Matilda Wakefield can't entrust her secrets to Duncan without embroiling him in the problems that sent her fleeing from London, but neither can she ignore a man who's honorable, a brilliant chess player, and maddeningly kissable. She needs to stay one step ahead of her enemies and falling into Duncan's arms is a distraction she can't afford -- or they'll both pay the price.
