Romance Historical

In THE IRRESISTIBLE ROGUE, Lady Daphne Swift is beautiful, the opposite of tall (she doesn't care about the word short) and secretly married to the devilishly charming Captain Rafferty Cavendish. She has been pining for Rafe for years but after their first mission as spies, she realized that the rogue doesn't care about her.

So she decides to get annulment and marry a lord from her husband list. Captain Rafferty is a spy for the crown and has an unfinished mission that still haunts him, the one that resulted in the death of Daphne's brother, Donald. Rafe had agreed to marry and work with Daphne before but he still believes she is above his reach and seeking only title and wealth.

Now he needs Daphne's help to capture the men responsible for Donald's death, and also stopping her engagement to the boring Lord Fitzwell. THE IRRESISTIBLE ROGUE is the fourth book in the Playful Brides series and what a magnificent tale. Bowman creates a sparkling, romantic story of secrets; spies and passion that makes you laugh and cry.

What I love about this series is how mischievous the female characters are, and how they always come up with a plan in each book. The secondary characters in THE IRRESISTIBLE ROGUE are so adorable and looking for trouble that keeps you entertained through the whole story.

In THE IRRESISTIBLE ROGUE, Valerie Bowman did it again by writing another magnificent story with charming characters, danger, secrets, passion and humor.

SUMMARY

A PROPOSAL FROM A SCOUNDREL Daphne Swift has not laid eyes on her devilishly charming husband, Captain Rafferty Cavendish, in quite some time. As a matter of fact, she wants the rogue to annul their brief marriage so that she can marry the reliable and estimable Lord Fitzwell. But the breathtakingly handsome Rafe is not interested in letting Daphne go-at least not without paying his scandalous price... THE SEDUCTION OF HIS WIFE Rafe prefers to face the dangers of spying alone, but this time he needs his innocent, fiery wife to uncover the information he seeks. He has even agreed to release her from their marriage if she submits completely to his plan. However, Daphne's alluring combination of courage and curves makes her a dangerous distraction, and it is not long before Rafe is trading subterfuge for seduction in order to prove that Daphne is meant to be his and his alone...
