Romance Historical

Lady Elena Morrow awakens in a strange room and of course not her bed. As she turns to see who's lying beside her, it's Randolph "Raven" Raines, Viscount, one of the biggest rakes of the Ton. When he awakens as confused as she by how, why and when they were both placed here. Each blames the other for the situation in which they find themselves. If they are to get out alive they must bare each other's company. After being together for many days, they find they are attracted to one another. Sexual tension runs high, but soon they have a scheme to escape. As they are held as hostages, Lord Benjamin Wallace, who is married to Lady Elena's cousin, gets a visit from Elena's father. Wallace is well know for resolving political problems, so Elena's father's implores upon him to find his daughter. Even though Ben has no expertise in these matters, he agrees to help find her. Alicia, Lord Benjamin's wife wants to help in any way she can, but her husband does not want her to be harmed in trying to find her cousin. Does she listen? No. But as the story evolves, it does help Ben and Alicia's marriage to become a more loving and sensual sort both in and out of the boudoir. Lady Elena's family wants her back safe, sound and scandal free. However, they fear the Ton will notice that not just Elena is missing but that the rake Ran (as he is known) is missing as well. As time passes the incarnated couple fall in love, but Lady Elena must answer to the man she was going to marry and her father who fears the worst for his daughter's ruin. RUINED BY MOONLIGHT is a wonderful historical as the ultimate extreme matchmaker deploys a daring diabolical scheme. Fast-paced with two delightful romances, readers will enjoy Benjamin's investigation as he falls in love with his wife and the subjects of his search also do the same thing with each other. Though he and Ran thank their anonymous benefactor for opening their eyes and hearts, Benjamin now begins to dread the infamous words "You have a visitor."

SUMMARY

What is society to do when the diamonds of the first water are caught in compromising situations, one after the other? Can the young ladies survive the season with their reputations intact…or will the scandalous whispers surrounding them bring about the ultimate ruination? When Lady Elena Morrow, the reigning belle of the ton, suddenly disappears, her family is desperate to find her—and to keep the story from spreading through London society like wildfire, before her reputation is ruined. Unfortunately, it may be impossible to avoid a scandal. Viscount Andrews, better known as the Raven, London’s most notorious rake, has gone missing at exactly the same moment. Benjamin Wallace, Lord Heathton, is more accustomed to untangling political difficulties, rather than those of the heart. But when he is pressured to help find Lady Elena, he can’t refuse—the distraught father is also his wife’s uncle. Now he must find the beautiful debutante before the connection to Andrews does away with her innocence—assuming the vulnerable young lady wants to be found.…
