Lord of the Rakes

Talk of his prowess as a lover and his ingenuity in the bedroom are enough to make even the most prudish of ladies succumb to temptation. But as of late, Phillip has found himself a bit bored. Until he sets his eyes on a fiery newcomer.

New to independence and London, gorgeous heiress Lady Caroline Delamarre wants to make the most of her life. And when Phillip meets her gaze, she knows the perfect place to start is in his arms...and in his bed. But what begins as a long night of breathtaking passion leads to more than the two bargained for. Haunted by troubled pasts and inescapable family entanglements, each of them must decide if they can risk a gamble on what might be true love.“Reveals the vulnerability of the Regency era’s women...The allure of [Phillip and Caroline's] sensual encounters is enhanced by the great depth of emotions revealed by these expertly crafted and unforgettable characters.”—*Publisher's Weekly
