after an accident left him blind. When Lady Anne Chessley,
a
woman he formerly courted, wants to marry him to save
herself from money hungry beaux, Cedric agrees. Anne makes
Cedric feel alive and gives him a purpose in life once
again. However, after their marriage, events take a turn
for
the worst when secrets are revealed, and enemies from the
past reemerge to take away everything Cedric holds dear.

his friends. The best part of HER WICKED PROPOSAL is
Cedric's group of friends and their camaraderie and
cheerfulness. Readers will be laughing at their jokes and

Cedric. The secondary characters really help enhance the
book's plot and readers will enjoy every minute spent

predictable, but the climax is exciting and the resolution
will leave readers with a satisfying ending well worth

The League of Rogues, Book 3
Cedric, Viscount Sheridan, is cursed. Once the ton’s golden
boy, the loss of his sight has left him a reclusive shell of
man. His days of womanizing, horse racing and pistol
shooting lost forever.
Offered the chance to recapture a small part of his old
life, he can’t refuse—even if it means accepting the
shocking proposal of the infamous ice maiden, Anne Chessley.
Still reeling from her father’s death, Anne’s deepest wish
is to avoid the hordes of fortune hunters who will soon be
beating down her door. Proposing marriage to Cedric is an
act of desperation, his unexpected acceptance a strange and
wonderful dream.
His only stipulation: she must respond passionately and
wantonly in his bed. Her agreement barely crosses her lips
before he begins a sensual assault on the icy walls bitter
secrets have built around her heart.
Yet even as they catch a glimpse of true happiness, betrayal
is poised to sweep them away on opposing tides of danger.
Warning: Contains an outwardly aloof heroine with a secretly
tender heart, a once-notorious rake who isn’t quite as rusty
at seduction as he feared, and a band of rogues who join
together to make sure happily-ever-afters do come true.
