Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
'Well, since I'm currently between mistresses, you could fulfil that role until I tire of you.' Aghast, he waited for her to gasp with outrage or slap his face. To his astonishment, after staring at him for another moment, she said, 'Very well. Make the arrangements and send me word.' Diana Graveston. Duchess of Graveston. Freshly widowed. She was the last person Alastair Ransleigh expected, or wanted for that matter, to see. After the humiliation, betrayal and pain she'd caused him, Alastair was content for life to go on without her. But fate had played a cruel card in bringing her back to his life. This time though, the cards would be in Alastair's hands. When he proposes a challenge for her to become his mistress, no one is more surprised than Alastair when she accepts. But neither expected waves of desire between them, or the emotions that would follow. Is this a second chance at love, or has Alastair allowed himself to be played a second time by the charming Duchess? The Rake to Rescue Her is a full–length regency romance of illicit passion and a second shot at love. This is part of the Ransleigh Rogues series but can be read as a standalone. “A passionate and poignant tale of betrayal, revenge, sexual healing and second chances” – RT Book Reviews
