Raked Away in September

RAKED AWAY IN SEPTEMBER is book nine in the multi-author series, THE RAKE REVIEW, SEASON TWO>
Rowan Blackwood, the infamous Earl of Haversham, has spent his life running from responsibility. He has no desire for the shackles of matrimony. But when he exits the notorious Dark Walks of Vauxhall Gardens a mere heartbeat behind Lady Tamsin Fairchild, a single gossip column ruins them both. Faced with a choice between a deadly duel with Tamsin’s furious brother or a wedding ring, Rowan begrudgingly chooses the altar.

Lady Tamsin had only stepped into the shadows of Vauxhall to save a dear friend from certain ruin. Instead, she finds her own virtue shredded by the Brazen Belle. To salvage her family’s name, she must marry the Rake of September—the one man her brother loathes above all others, and a scoundrel she has vowed to keep at arm’s length.

Bound together by scandal, they agree to a marriage of convenience. But as polite pretenses give way to genuine friendship and a terrifying, hungry passion, they face their greatest battle yet. Can a woman who swore never to marry without love find her match in a man who believes love is nothing more than a fool’s illusion?
