The Rogue to Ruin: A sweet, classic Regency novel of love and scandal in London and Cornwall
About this ebook
Sir Perran Geoffrey needs a wealthy bride to repair his family estate and to bring his sister out in Society. But what woman with money and standing will accept him as a husband—practically penniless, his title under a cloud thanks to his ne’er-do-well father, and an estate far away in Cornwall?
Alwyn Penrose and her two sisters are in London for their first Season. Imagine their surprise when they meet the heirs of the neighboring estates—gentlemen whom they are barely allowed to acknowledge. For to be seen with the Rogues of St. Just means the death of one’s reputation. Except that Alwyn is seen. More than once. And the gossip spreads all the way to the sacred portals of Almack’s, which close in her face and end her hopes for a good marriage forever.
The ruin of her Season is Perran Geoffrey’s fault. And when they are both forced to return to Cornwall, only one thing is clear: One good ruination deserves another.
The Rogues of St. Just. They may be the most shocking men in Mayfair, but their hearts are all too vulnerable at home.
"The Rogue to Ruin is a sweet confection of a tale you won't be able to put down. Charlotte Henry's witty writing will sweep you away into the Regency period. A rare charmer!" --Regina Scott, author of the Fortune's Brides series
