What's a girl to do when she has no money but must marry well? When her father has died a debtor and her reprobate brother is intent on gambling away what little else remains? When her feather-brained sister risks the family reputation by succumbing to any lure cast her way? Why, her mother, Lady Brightwell, has just the plan! Her intelligent, beautiful daughter is to be sacrificed to a lecherous baron with gout and carbuncles in order to keep the family in the manner to which they've become accustomed. Only, there's the rub. Lady Brightwell's daughter Fanny might be intelligent and beautiful. But she's also rebellious, clever and strong-willed. And when her passionate heart is brought to life by a chance encounter with a dashing viscount, the fact he's looking for a wealthy bride is of no account. This is the story of Fanny's perilous gamble amidst a London season's offerings of debutantes with far greater address - but far less cunning - for the ultimate prize: dashing, delicious, dazzling Lord Fenton. Sit back and enjoy this racy, Regency romp but do ensure your smelling salts are at hand - because Fanny Brightwell is prepared to risk everything to save herself from a lifetime attending to Great Aunt Seraphina's chilblains or massaging lecherous Lord Slyther's gargantuan ego - amongst other things. Book 1: Rake's Honour Book 2: Rogue's Kiss Book 3: The Wedding Wager Book 4: The Accidental Elopement What readers are saying: "Steamy and passionate... A good light-hearted read." ~ Amazon reader "A fast-paced story, filled with humour, sexual attraction, love and desperation. The first in a series of novels set in a time when chastity and honour were everything." ~ Amazon reader.
