The Duke And The Thief's Contract

Faith_afe
She’s a 24 year old mastermind thief. He’s the ruthless 30 year old Duke of Eston-Bridge with a notorious reputation. Amber Aisling’s latest assignment was supposed to be just another easy target until she’s caught red-handed by Mr John Henderson, the Duke himself. An Infamous bachelor with a ruthless reputation that precedes him in the world of business and lifestyle. John Henderson is not one to forgive or let such go unpunished. But instead of turning her in for her crimes, he makes a chilling, jaw dropping proposal: "Marry me for a year, and you get to walk away a free woman. Refuse and you face consequences that could be fatal." There were problems to avoid and much to gain: her freedom, a huge settlement and his protection. For the Duke, there was much to gain from the arrangement too: diverting society's attention away from some scandals brewing about him, and using it to his advantage in his business affairs. A wife meant stability and normalcy. A well-played lie. But it wasn't going to be as easy as she thought. Just when Amber was considering the prospect of accepting his proposal, the Duke drops a second, far more mind-shattering bombshell: a follow-up contract this time. She must get pregnant for him and bear his child.
