A Duke Will Never Do by Darcy Burke
4.0
A few weeks after Jane declares herself a spinster she finds Anthony beaten to a pulp on her front stoop. She doesn't recognize him at first because of how beaten he is, but she decides to care for him even before she realizes who he is.
He spends the week recovering in her care and during those days when he asks how he can ever repay her she tells him he should take her virginity as she has no use for it. He has a jaw drop moment and then tries to convince her she deserves far better than him.
Anthony believes he is a loathsome creature because his parents where murdered because of him almost a year ago and he has tried to sink himself as low as possible by drinking and whoring his way through London. He also inadvertently lets slip that there was a rumor about Jane the year she came out that is likely the cause for her failure on the marriage mart.
Definite sunshine/grump vibes with this book.
