If he can’t woo one of the most eccentric bluestockings from the Ton inside the month, he can kiss his hard-earned lot of money farewell. But he’s constantly thought like a wasted feeling and marriage a hassle at best. And oddly enough, Woman Sophie Wolcott appears unmoved by his elegance .

When Sophie learns her beloved orphanage is within imminent danger, she will do anything to save lots of it. Also marry a ruthless rake who takes what he desires in business and enjoyment. A guy who’s everything she’s always feared most-but whom she reluctantly starts yearning for.

Then Sophie becomes the prospective of the killer lurking through the dark shadows of Devlin’s earlier. And they discover not merely their lives in danger but their extremely hearts.

Contains mature themes.
