The Rake of Last Resort
Heather Boyd

A spinster has no business in Sidney West’s decadent London town house. But the moment he sets eyes on Edith, he feels protective instincts so strong, he barely hesitates to give the woman and her sisters safe harbor. And the longer Edith stays, the clearer the depths of her brother’s neglect…and Sidney’s determination to keep her close and safe. But is it possible for a woman of virtue to believe the rake of last resort might just be her hero in disguise?
A standalone regency romance short story.
