   Summary

   London, 1814. Lady Juvia Lockser enters her first season with one purpose: secure a match that will save her family. The Duke Gray is a jaded rake who wants nothing to do with the marriage mart. One fateful meeting leads them to a single, clear conclusion: they cannot stand each other. Then they can't stay away from each other. What begins as mutual disdain becomes something neither of them has an explanation for, and an agreement with an expiration date neither of them is ready to honor. AU. INCOMPLETE.
