What would Lily Reagan do to save the Banton University Ladies’ College? Anything. When the new Duke of Metford cuts off the funding to Banton University Ladies’ College on Christmas Eve of all days, Doctor Lily Reagan resolves to persuade him in person before the University term resumes in the new year. All he needs is to see how valuable the funding of women’s education is, right? Beckett Winchester isn’t a dissolute wastrel like his father, and his first act as Duke is to tell all the tarts and actresses they won’t be bleeding the Metford estate dry any longer. The arrival of beautiful Lily Reagan in the snow isn’t going to change his mind. But Lily proposes a bargain. A game of chance. If she wins, he’ll finance her precious Ladies’ College. And if he wins, this tempting siren will do anything he wants… The Duke Bargain is a grumpy sunshine Victorian age gap historical romance with a snowed in Duke and the lady astronomer he can’t resist.
