About this ebook

Fans of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton Series and Johanna Lindsey’s Malory Series will love the passionate romances and gripping adventures of the League of Rogues.

Godric St. Laurent, Duke of Essex:

A rake.

A scoundrel.

And now he's a kidnapper.

Godric St. Laurent, Duke of Essex, relishes the rakish reputation society has branded him with. He has no plans to marry anytime soon—if ever. When he kidnaps an embezzler’s niece for revenge, the difficult debutante’s blend of sweetness and sharp tongue both infuriate and intrigue him.

Miss Emily Parr is determined to rid herself of domineering men in her life. Her plan is in shambles after she's kidnapped by the incorrigible duke. As she tries to outwit him, she finds herself... enjoying not only the scorching kisses he steals but also his companionship. Of course the most wicked and unweddable man she's ever met would be the one she can't imagine living without.

As they surrender to passion, danger from Godric's past threatens to destroy the one thing he and Emily swore they never wanted: love.

Warning: This novel includes a lady who refuses to stay kidnapped, a devilish duke with a dark past, and an assortment of charming rogues who have no idea what they’ve gotten themselves into.

Ratings and reviews

If you haven't read this series... you are missing out! I have read a lot of books over the years and the anticipation waiting for the next book just about drove me mad! Lauren Smith draws you in from page one, in my opinion from the first sentence. I laughed, I cried, I could imagine myself being there within the story, if only as a Wallflower. That is how talented of a writer she is. So ... again, I highly recommend this series. I have no idea why the date is showing what it is but I submitted on 2/26/2021
