A Rake's Redemption

Can love reform a rogue?

A GOOD DEED UNDONE?

Phaedra Gillian, spinster daughter of a rural vicar, has found an unconscious gentleman by the roadside. Taught to be a good Samaritan, she takes into her home the greatest temptation of her life! For Phaedra's patient is none other than Lawrence Jamison, Earl of Hardcastle. As London's most notorious rake, the Earl is a man who pursues pleasure--and women--with reckless abandon.

Unfamiliar with the ton, Phaedra doesn't know the reputation of "Hardhearted Hardcastle"--only that this handsome stranger is charming, amusing, and able to send chills down her spine. Hearing about his wild ways leaves her shocked. And puzzled. Despite their passionate embraces and time alone in his bedchamber, Hardcastle has behaved honorably--so far. Is she a fool for believing a rogue can change? Or should she send him away before she loses everything, especially her belief in the power of love?

Hero: Lawrence Jamison, Earl of Hardcastle
