Rakes of St. James
Nearing thirty, the Duke of Rathburne is finally ready
to
make amends for the wager that caused him and his best
friends such scandal―but taking on a ward who needs
a
husbandis a feat he’s not sure he can manage. The last he
saw of Miss Marlena Fast,she was a spirited little
ruffian,
not the sort of bride most bachelors on the marriage mart
sought. But one glance at the lovely lady she has become
is
enough to convince him otherwise…
Orphaned young and
shuffled from family to family, Marlena
counts on her fierce independence and quick wits to keep
herself content. Being the responsibility of a notoriously
wicked duke who upended so many lives is an unexpected
challenge when she realizes he arouses her decidedly
feminine desires. Marlena must be careful. She has herown
scandalous secret to protect. If he finds out, will it
shatter her chancesof a happily-ever-after with the
notorious rake?
