London's Last True Scoundrel
by Christina Brooke
LONDON’S ULTIMATE BAD BOY…
Physically reckless, irrepressibly
roguish, and poised on the brink of ruin, Jonathon Westruther, Earl of
Davenport, returns from the dead only to throw himself into
dissipation. Until he meets his worst nightmare: a straitlaced former
schoolteacher he can’t get out of his head. He resolves to seduce the
delightful Miss Hilary deVere by fair means or foul. But when his past returns
to endanger Hilary, he must protect her at all costs…
MEETS ENGLAND’S MOST PROPER MISS
Dismissed from her post at a ladies’
academy because of prejudice against her uncouth family, Hilary will do
anything to avoid going back to live with her loutish brothers. She longs
for a London season to show the world a deVere can behave with utmost decorum
and to find a respectable husband. Everything about Lord Davenport appalls
her but desperation makes strange bedfellows. To get to London, Hilary strikes
a bargain with the devilish Davenport, confident that she’s immune to his
charm. But as she discovers surprising depths beneath his rakish surface,
this infamous scoundrel becomes more temptation than even the most proper
lady can withstand…
