A rogue of her own

Grace Burrowes

Book - 2018

New York Times bestselling series! "Smart, sexy, and oh-so romantic."--Mary Balogh For Miss Charlotte Windham, the best way to maintain her spinsterhood-and her independence-is a teeny, tiny brush with scandal. She chooses wealthy, handsome upstart Lucas Sherbourne as her unwitting accomplice. He's intelligent, logical, and ambitious. What Charlotte doesn't count on is that one kiss will lead them straight to the altar. Sherbourne has no love for polite society, nor is he keen on being anybody's husband of last resort. He is attracted to Charlotte's boldness, though-and her family's influence. Without a title, he knows he'll never truly be part of their world, even as he and Charlotte inch closer to a... marriage that means much more than convenience. But a scheming business partner is about to test that tenuous trust, forcing Sherbourne to make a drastic choice: his wealth or his wife.

Review by Library Journal Review

Keenly intelligent Charlotte Windham has managed to avoid the schemes of her matchmaking relatives and numerous unsuitable proposals for years. But when wealthy businessman Lucas Sherbourne catches her reluctant attention, it's all she can do to refuse him-until an ill-timed farewell kiss takes the decision out of their hands and sends them off to Lucas's home and latest business venture in Wales-married and wary but resolved to make the relationship work. A fierce, high-born heroine with a secret agenda and an astute commoner hero struggling to make sense of his place in two social worlds discover devotion and true understanding in a cleverly plotted story that rights an old wrong, brings a villain to justice, and ties up loose series threads in a brilliantly executed plot twist that will have fans saying, "Yes!" VERDICT With flawless prose, delicious wit, and an unerring ability to bring complex characters to life, Burrowes revisits the engaging Windhams and delivers another winner; pure reading gold. Burrowes (No Other Duke Will Do) lives in rural Maryland. [See "Spring Editors' Picks," LJ 2/1/18, p. 31.] © Copyright 2018. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
