The Duke and the Midnight Muse

He needs a silent wife to save his reputation. She is the anonymous voice behind London's most scandalous gossip sheet. Elara Vance is the Ton's most successful wallflower. Quiet, stuttering, and overlooked, she is the last person anyone would suspect of being the Midnight Muse-the biting wit whose ink-stained columns can ruin a reputation with a single sentence. But when her father's gambling debts threaten her sisters' futures, Elara is forced to make a deal with the devil.
Julian Thorne, the Duke of Nightwell, is a man made of ice. Stoic, commanding, and burdened by a family legacy of gloom, Julian needs a wife who won't ask questions or cause a scene. When he discovers Elara's secret, he doesn't turn her in-he marries her. He offers her a business arrangement: her silence in exchange for his protection and her family's salvation.
