The Rake's Revenge
Emily Hendrickson
Regina Hawthorne is an undeniably pleasing and promising
young lady. With her beauty, charm, and impeccable
background, no one doubts she'll soon have an offer from
the eligible Lord Torrington. But Torrington apparently has
other ideas, such as plighting his troth to another--and
leaving Miss Hawthorne with the humiliating reputation
of "Rejected Regina!"
Jules, Lord St. Aubyn, is known throughout the ton
as a rake--albeit one of extremely good breeding. Upon
learning of Miss Hawthorne's predicament, he feels sympathy
for the lovely young woman--even as the seeds of a scheme
take root. Jules is confident he can find a way to distract
gossiping tongues from Regina's plight, in exchange for her
help with a particular family problem. He is even willing
to risk his rakish reputation--if it means spending more
time with Regina...
