In this captivating new historical romance brimming with seductive twists and irresistible wit, an English nobleman is finally free from exile—but can his heart still be captured?

Historical romance

Fake engagement

Opposites attract

Taming a rake

The art of faking an engagement is never easy... After more than a decade, the Earl of Heathbrook returns to London to reclaim guardianship of his younger brothers. However, his reputation as a rake has followed him from France, and his own father has blocked Heathbrook's rightful custody in his will. But the clever rogue concocts the perfect plan to restore his reputation, and his inheritance . . . by finding a temporary fiancée.

Giselle Bernard is not looking to wed an earl with a wild past. All she seeks is a nobleman, who can legally secure her new life in England and head off a mysterious stranger's threats. Posing as Heathbrook's bride-to-be would surely benefit them both. But as their engagement charade unravels, neither expect it to blossom into a promise of love.
