Gwen Maudsley not only has the benefit of being young and
beautiful, she also has the good fortune to be an
heiress. Pampered and tutored her whole life, she must
marry a man with a lofty title to secure her family's last
desire. Unfortunately, luck is not on her side. Her first
suitor spurns her when he calls off their engagement. Her
second suitor goes even further-- he leaves her
stranded at the altar. Gwen realizes that even her money
cannot buy her a title, and she is tired of trying to please
everyone. After all, it has gotten her nowhere. She needs
a change of pace, and being naughty has its appeal. Where
should she start? What should she do?
Alexander Ramsey has always been the adventurous one, and
his reputation with the ladies usually precedes him.
Restless with the dull life provided in England, Alex hit
the high seas with his best friend, Richard Maudsley, in a
business venture. When Richard died, Alex promised to look
after Gwen. He thought that she would finally marry and
gain the title that her family hoped for. He did not think
that she would be jilted at the altar. He certainly did
not expect her reaction to the situation. Her interest in
taking a holiday is warranted, but she wants to make
outrageous memories. Can he change her mind? Does he
really want to once he sees the true Gwen released from her
cage?
Meredith Duran crashes through all barriers to build an
invigorating historical romance. Gwen is not your typical
heroine. She does not wilt under the rejection and
scrutiny. Instead, she rises up and grabs onto life for
all she is worth. Alexander knows a little bit about
experiencing life, and cannot trust Gwen out on her own.
Together, they are out to break all the rules. Ms. Duran
plots an entertaining read full of adventure and
surprises. WICKED BECOMES YOU secrets us to
outlandish locations, lavishes on the naughty indulgences,
and embraces the spirit of freedom.
She’s been burned not once but twice by London’s so-call
ed gentlemen . . . Gwen Maudsley is pretty enough to be
popular, and plenty wealthy, too. But what she’s best known
and loved for is being so very, very nice. When a cad jilts
her at the altar—again—the scandal has her outraged friends
calling for blood. Only Gwen has a different plan. If
nice no longer works for her, then it’s time to learn
to be naughty. Happily, she knows the perfect
tutor—Alexander Ramsey, her late brother’s best friend and a
notorious rogue.
So why won’t a confirmed scoundrel let
her be as bad as she wants to be? Unbeknownst to Gwen,
Alex’s aloof demeanor veils his deepest unspoken desire. He
has no wish to see her change, nor to tempt himself with her
presence when his own secrets make any future between them
impossible. But on a wild romp from Paris to the Riviera,
their friendship gives way to something hotter, darker, and
altogether more dangerous. With Alex’s past and Gwen’s newly
unleashed wildness on a collision course, Gwen must convince
Alex that his wickedest intentions are exactly what she needs.
