"CLEVER AND CHARMING, THIS TALE BRINGS IN EVERYTHING REGENCY FANS LOVE." Publisher's Weekly starred review

There’s no taming the wicked…

Debonaire bachelor Lord Andrew lives for pleasure and makes no apologies. But after a daring heiress falls from the sky and interrupts his plans for a tryst in the gardens, his once exciting life begins to feel dull. When he learns the intriguing miss is staying as his family’s house guest, he abandons London and travels to the country, only to learn the lady he cannot forget is forbidden—even if he is able to tear down the walls she hides behind. 

Reforming rakes is a fool’s game…

After three Seasons of evading fortune hunters and a failed engagement, heiress Lana Hillary is exhausted and looking forward to a quiet month in the country with her best friend. Unfortunately, her social climbing mother views the invitation as the perfect opportunity to play matchmaker. While her mother sets out to win her a Bavarian count, Lana is captivated by her host’s charming brother. Flirting with trouble is meant to be harmless, but soon Lana finds herself entangled with the most infamous scoundrel in England, and their romance is destined for heartbreak. 

Ratings and reviews

Can the rake who wants no part of marriage and the lady who wants no part of a rake find love together? Maybe. Lana and Drew are great together, even if they don’t believe it. Before they can find that happily-ever-after, they must face doubts about each other, protective brothers (hers and his), a determined match-making mother, a Bavarian Count, and a kidnapping. This is a well-written romance with a lot of humor, a bit of danger, and a dash of spice. Entertaining and enjoyable.

Lana Hillary is in her third season and is constantly trying to avoid overbearing gentlemen in need of her dowry. Andrew Forest is the third son of the Duke of Foxhaven. Imagine his surprise when he rescues Lana hanging from a tree. Drew wants nothing to do with the institution of marriage. Drinking gambling and a different woman in his bed every night is his life, until Lana disrupts his thinking. He is a man in pursuit looking to seduce Lana, but she makes it anything but easy.
