His Lady Ashlynn by Starla Kaye
Lady Ashlynn Remington is the younger of twin sisters born to her English father's American mistress. She is also the most headstrong of his three daughters and two sons. She resisted coming with him to England, disliking the English ways and especially displeased with English nobility. She is determined to return to America and the man she'd hoped to marry. Her father, though, is equally determined to keep her in England. When she meets a handsome, powerful duke at a ball, she is attracted and resistant at the same time. But he promptly asks for her hand in marriage and, against her desires, her father eagerly accepts. He doesn't realize that Ashlynn has no intention of giving up her plans quite so easily...
Twice married, widowed, and still without an heir, Blaine Wellingsworth, the Duke of Ashcroft, knows from the their introduction that the spirited Lady Ashlynn will be his next bride. Never has he been so drawn to a woman. He will not take "no" for an answer. It might take some doing, patience, and perhaps more drastic measures to tame the brat, but she WILL be his wife. And this passionate young woman will learn to love him as much as he does her.
