Alexandra Dunforth’s conniving uncle is forcing her into wedding a man she

doesn’t know. Her uncle is determined. He’s threatened to sell Helmsby Abbey,

the only home Alexandra has ever known, and throw the estate’s staff into the

streets if he doesn’t get his way. But her uncle has the intelligence of a

turnip, surely Alexandra can manage to outwit him and save all she holds dear.

After years of living in Macao, Sutton “Satan” Reynolds, the decadent,

handsome Marquess of Cambourne, has finally returned to take his place in

society. As beautiful as he is wealthy, the ladies of the ton are lining up to

be ruined at his hands. He finds them all tedious and boring until he meets

the delectable Miss Dunforth. Miss Dunforth seems immune to his charms. In

fact, the tart-tongued spinster assures Sutton that she finds him arrogant.

Annoying. And lacking in some way.

One wicked kiss leads to a scandalous attraction.

Determined to save her home, Alexandra has no time to flirt with scandalous

rakes, especially one who sports a dragon tattoo and possesses a ridiculous

nickname. Lord Cambourne is a distraction Alexandra can ill afford, even after

he kisses her. Besides, she’s certain he is only toying with her for his own

amusement. After all, notorious rakes don’t desire plain, bookish spinsters

from Hampshire.

Do they?
