About the book
Four short stories To have a tendre for them can ruin a reputation, but ladies simply can't resist Regency England's most dashing, daring rakes. They steal kisses and hearts with equal abandon—and thrill us with romantic escapades that often lead to love... In Alana Clayton's "Rutherford's Return," heaven gives an incorrigible Marquess another chance to right all his wrongs, beginning with Vanessa Truesdale, the pretty miss he once nearly ruined. A bride is shocked when a rogue's announcement stops her wedding ceremony cold, but is this intruder's motive love or revenge—in Cindy Holbrook's "The Rake Objects?" When a virtuous miss meets the black sheep of a rich family, opposites attract, hearts meet, and a woman and a man may be en route to happiness or trouble in Martha Kirkland's "The Notorious Mr. Freemont." A gambler and a runaway heiress share a coach in Marcy Stewart's "A Halo for Mr. Devlin"—only to find themselves on the road to danger and desire. Charming and irresistible, here are the beau monde's most sinfully scandalous men, and the women who risk everything to love them...in four seductive stories of passion and romance!
