Lady Rosamund Davis knows her duty to her family, so she
will marry the monster who holds her brother's gambling
vows. Why Cosgrove wants her confounds her. Rosamund's only
value is her ability to maintain her family's household.
Plain, flat-chested and a blue stocking with no dowry is
how society views her. Cosgrove, known for his love of
beauty, craves debauchery. Innocence does not last long as
Cosgrove contaminates the innocent and enjoys watching
their descent into hell. Terrified by his promises to break
her spirit, Rosamund accepts help from an unlikely ally.
Lord Bramwell John, the second son of a duke, acknowledges
his father's low opinion of him by becoming a scoundrel
without any redeeming qualities. But the gambling and
whoring with no thoughts of others is beginning to bore
him. Looking for challenges, Bram overhears his mentor
Cosgrove buying a bride. Bram sets forth to see what has
caught Cosgrove's fancy. Upon meeting Rosamund, Bram
realizes Cosgrove's intention of corrupting the purity and
innocence that Rosamund projects. Her plight forces Bram to
re-examine his blackened soul. For the first time, he sees
himself as others do.
Bram offers Rosamund aid and advice on how to survive a
marriage to Cosgrove. Rosamund has few options, so accepts.
Their tentative friendship leads to stronger feelings and
emotions. However, Bram's attempts to change are met with
skepticism and earn him a deadly enemy.
A rogue in need of rescuing and a damsel with the mettle to
take on the dismal odds is Ms. Enoch's newest tale in her
Notorious Gentlemen series. The menacing villain gives a
dark edge to the story as we watch Bram and Rosamund
grapple with the transformation that occurs as they fall in
love.
Lord Bramwell Johns is a wastrel, a rake, a
scoundrel...and proud of it. The second son of the Duke of
Levonzy, Bram is bored enough and reckless enough to break
into the homes of his peers just for the excitement. But
then he overhears a couple arranging the marriage of their
daughter to an even more notorious rake than Bram...Lady
Rosamund likes to think of herself as practical. If she
has to marry, a titled rake is better than a penniless
gentleman. But what about an untitled rake? For suddenly
Brams appears everywhere she is, and doing his best to
sweep her off her feet. If Rose isn't careful, she may
believe that reformed rakes really do make the best
husbands...
