Book description
What a scoundrel wants, a scoundrel gets . . .
A decade ago, the Marquess of Bourne was cast from society with nothing
but his title. Now a partner in London's most exclusive gaming hell, the
cold, ruthless Bourne will do whatever it takes to regain his
inheritance - including marrying perfect, proper Lady Penelope Marbury.
A broken engagement and years of disappointing courtships have left
Penelope with little interest in a quiet, comfortable marriage. How
lucky that her new husband has access to such unexplored pleasures.
Bourne may be a prince of London's underworld, but he vows to keep
Penelope untouched by its wickedness - a challenge indeed as the lady
discovers her own desires, and her willingness to wager anything for
them . . . even her heart. Sarah MacLean grew up in Rhode Island,
obsessed with historical romance and bemoaning the fact that she was
born far too late for her own season. Her love of all things historical
helped to earn her degrees from Smith College and Harvard University
before she finally set pen to paper and wrote her first book. Sarah now
lives in New York City with her husband, their dog, and a ridiculously
large collection of romance novels.
