Dazed by heavy doses of laudanum, dressed only in her shift and whore's paint, she is brought barefoot before "The Beast". He is the Duke who rules the smuggler-riddled coastline to whom she is presented as a gift to sooth his temper. Rohan Kilborn, Duke of Warrington, won't let the gift of a whore blunt his wrath. The smugglers had become Wreckers, and brought the attention of the coast guard upon their heads. His anger does not mean he wont't enjoy the toothsome wench, assuming she comes out of her drunken stupor.

As the plot behind her abduction is revealed Kate learns her identity is a sham perpetuated for her own protection by the man she knew as her guardian. Rohan Kilborn, resigned to the family curse that all he loves will be lost, discovers tender but unwanted feelings for Kate.

In MY DANGEROUS DUKE, Gaelen Foley has given us a rollicking good tale. The romance is heavily threaded with adventure and plot twists that keep you guessing, rushing through to read to the end. This is a book I will enjoy reading a second time, to catch the nuances I missed while being caught up in the ride the first time through. I now have another author to add to my 'favorites' shelf.
