The Abandoned Rake
Emily Hendrickson
Joanna Winterton had had a narrow escape
from a marriage that had filled her with dread
rather than desire. Now she fled the London
marriage mart before she could be so cruelly
cornered again. But when she arrived in a
remote rural retreat, she found she had merely
exchanged one kind of danger for another.
Sir Lucas Montfort was the premier rake in the
realm. This devastatingly handsome libertine's
skill at seduction was matched only by his lust
for conquest, and now Joanna was the sole target
of his roving eye in the tiny village that housed
them both. Joanna no longer had to worry
about wedlock. Quite the reverse-as she sought
to avoid an all-too-inviting surrender to a man
who did not have marriage in mind...
