USA Today bestselling author Caroline Linden's third novel
in her Scandalous series brings together a feisty heiress,
a
notorious rake, and a shocking book that could bring one
woman the utmost despair— or the greatest pleasure
Penelope Weston does not like Benedict Lennox, Lord
Atherton. He may be the suave and charming heir to an
earl,
as well as the most handsome man on earth, but she can't
forget how he abandoned a friend in need— nor how he once
courted her sister, Abigail. He's the last man she would
ever marry. If only she didn't feel so attracted to the
arrogant scoundrel . . .
Once upon a time, Benedict thought he and Penelope got
along
rather well. Though he needs a wealthy bride to escape his
cruel father's control, spirited Penelope just doesn't
suit
his plans for a model marriage—until a good deed goes
awry,
and scandalous rumors link his name to Penelope's. She
might
not be the quiet, sensible wife he thought he wanted, but
she is beautiful . . . beguiling . . . and far more
passionate than he ever imagined. Can a marriage begun in
scandal become a love match, too?
