Not even for one night of surrender...

Liz's Review

One Night of Surrender by Darcy Burke is the second book in the Wicked Dukes Club series and was full of steamy chemistry and sexual tension! We head back to The Wicked Duke tavern and this time get Valentine Fairfax, Duke of Eastleigh’s story. Almost ten years ago he had an unforgettable night with Isabelle Cortland, but after a disastrous marriage, he vows to never marry again.

When he is face-to-face with Isabelle again, he desires deeply. But Isabelle is not repeating past mistakes, no matter how much she wants him too. I loved the chemistry between Valentine and Isabelle. You could feel it coming off the pages. I loved this second chance romance! Though they attempted to stay away from the other, it was harder than either imagined! I am definitely loving this series and cannot wait for more!

ONS - Teaser 1 AN

Excerpt:

She opened the door and sucked in a breath. “Val.”

Garbed in the immaculately tailored suit of clothing he’d worn to dinner, he grinned, and her entire body heated in response. “You do remember my name.”

“You shouldn’t be here.” That was all she managed to get out before he pushed past her and strode into the room.

He frowned as he surveyed the chamber. “This is very small.”

“You act as though you’ve never been up here.”

“Not never, but not in some time.” He straightened and gave her a decisive nod. “I’ll move you downstairs.”

Closer to him. That was a terrible notion. “No, you won’t.”

He took a step toward her, the frown returning. “A governess isn’t a servant.”

“Nor is she a member of the family.” Footsteps on the stairs filled her with alarm. “You need to go. You can’t be in here.”

He rotated his head, presenting his ear toward the door and took another step forward. “Is someone coming?”

“Yes,” she hissed.

“Then I can’t very well leave. I’d walk right by whomever it is.” He sounded utterly unconcerned.

Isabelle closed the door with a firm click. Then she spun around to glare at him. “Are you trying to get me tossed out?”

“I would never toss you out. And no, I’m not trying to have your employment terminated. Though I will say I never imagined I’d see you as a governess.” His gaze dipped over her as if he were assessing what he had seen her as—and she didn’t want to know.

Too aware of his lingering attention and the fact that she wore only a night rail covered with a rather thin dressing gown, she crossed her arms across her chest and gave him a cool stare. “You need to go.”

“And I shall. Soon. After we…talk.” He looked around the room once more, and his gaze settled on the diminutive chair situated in the corner next to her miniscule nightstand.

“We have nothing to talk about,” Isabelle said.

He moved to the chair and sat down. “Come now, after a decade, there is plenty to discuss. I could sit here with you all night.”

All night. They’d done that once. But they hadn’t been sitting. Or talking. Well, there had been some talking. And some sitting…of sorts. She blushed at the memory.

He gave her a sly look. “What are you thinking about?”
