Rogue. Libertine. Rake. Lord Courtenay has been called many things and has never much cared. But after the publication of a salacious novel supposedly based on his exploits, he finds himself shunned from society. Unable to see his nephew, he is willing to do anything to improve his reputation, even if that means spending time with the most proper man in London.
Julian Medlock has spent years becoming the epitome of correct behavior. As far as he cares, if Courtenay finds himself in hot water, itโs his own fault for behaving so badlyโand being so blasted irresistible. But when Julianโs sister asks him to rehabilitate Courtenayโs image, Julian is forced to spend time with the man he loathesโand lusts afterโmost.
As Courtenay begins to yearn for a love he fears he doesnโt deserve, Julian starts to understand how desire can drive a man to abandon all sense of propriety. But he has secrets heโs determined to keep, because if the truth came out, it would ruin everyone he loves. Together, they must decide what theyโre willing to risk for love.
