A Rake Remembered (Reluctant Rakes #4)

He's a bitter, lonely duke who expects nothing but ridicule if he were to engage with the Season.
She's his long lost childhood friend, forced back to London to participate in the Season at the expense of her health.Charlotte Allen is forced back to London to find a husband whether she likes it or not, her longstanding health issues brushed under the rug and ignored for the sake of aristocratic clout. For her mother, the Viscountess of Staplehurst, a married and titled daughter is much more important than a healthy and thriving one. Charlotte only hopes she can survive London’s smog before her lungs are damaged beyond repair, but there is no escape, and she must endure the Season. All seems lost until an unexpected figure from her past appears...



Valentine Knight, Duke of Eastbourne, promises his friends he will attend one Season event, if only to get them to stop trying to force him to socialize. All three of his ex-rake friends are married now, and they’ve become concerned with Valentine’s reclusive habits and crumbling properties. Valentine has no desire to endure cruel aristocratic ridicule like the last time he attempted the Season years ago, so he plans to never return after sitting through one ballroom event. The last thing he expects is to encounter his long lost childhood friend Charlotte, who was whisked away to the countryside in their youth before he could even say goodbye. She is in dire straits now, and he might be the only one who can save her…
