The Lady’s Forbidden Marquess (The Devon Legacy #2)
Kristin Vayden
This season, Lady Peregrine intends to test that theory by choosing a rake to reform. The flirting is heady but reading between the lines is not so simple. She longs for passion and an interesting husband but discovers she’s not as worldly as she’d imagined.
Her brother fears his intelligent but stubborn sister is courting ruin. Rakes aren’t to be baited. He enlists the help of his oldest friend, Lord Hawthorne—a notorious rake–to both protect and teach her a lesson.
Lord Hawthorne avoids most polite society events. He’s not looking for a wife, but he cannot refuse his oldest friend. He intends to charm the impetuous beauty and turn the tables, hopefully changing her mind. But he underestimates the power of her sharp wit, innocence and discerning nature. She sees through his rake’s facade to his true self.The seducer is seduced, endangering his heart and hard-built reputation.
As jealous eyes watch and scheme and society judges, both Lady Peregrine and Lord Hawthorne dance on the edge of scandal if they court or if they don’t.
