Turning the conventions of Regency London upside down, a single lady desires a carefree, no‑strings‑attached dalliance with a devilish rogue in this spicy, irresistibly sensual new romance from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kate Pearce.
But is her all‑wrong scoundrel actually her Mr. Right?
Lady Allegra Musgrove has resigned herself to never marrying. Creating a scandal worked out well for her sister, Carenza, now happily wed after advertising for a no‑strings‑attached arrangement with a willing gentleman from the ton. But the fallout has landed squarely on poor Allegra, who is ordered to leave London for her family home in the countryside.
Sometimes, though, fate comes knocking‑or, in Allegra's case, a rake who abducts her as part of a men's club drunken wager!
Furious, Allegra quickly takes charge when their speeding carriage overturns and her masked captor is revealed: Lord Max Devereux, a notorious ne'er‑do‑well who pays his way out of trouble and beds women with impunity.
Suddenly sober, Max wants to forget the whole debacle and return Allegra to the city. Obviously, Allegra is aware that there could be no one worse to be stuck with in the middle of nowhere than such a rake, especially one so . . . experienced. Or . . . could there be no one better?
