Especially when said rake is a member of the Waverly family--the people responsible for a feud that has been ongoing since practically the dawn of time.But he comes offering a deal...The centuries-old feud between the Larkins and the Waverlys has taken its toll. Brook Waverly wants this fight solved. Now. His ageing father cannot take much more of the stress and he's determined the problem shall be resolved before he comes to inherit.So he needs her help...Chloe is distrustful of Mr.Waverly--and rightly so. Not only is he her lifelong enemy but he has a reputation that would make the most experienced of women blush. And boy does he make this wallflower blush! However, she has little interest in continuing the silly feud and, with her little brother set to inherit one day and her father's failing health, the sooner it is all over, the better. Working with the handsome, and far too charming Mr.Waverly to get their fathers to come to an agreement is...interesting. Especially when he seems to be less concerned with ending the feud and more interested in her. Can she really trust him or is this just another way for his family to get their revenge on hers?If you love enemies to lovers and rakes with a heart of gold, buy Married to the Rake today!

Book Synopsis The Rake's Insatiable Bride by : Caroline Lee
Download or read book The Rake's Insatiable Bride written by Caroline Lee and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-03-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She'll do things her way, or not at all...and that includes marriage! Industrialist Jade Thacker is used to being in control of her own life. Which is why it's damned galling to learn her well-meaning guardian plans to marry her off before she comes into full control of her inheritance! And a betrothal is one thing, but what's this nonsense about marriage-by-proxy? Is she married, or isn't she? Well, there's one thing she can still control: her virginity. Which is why she visited London's most infamous male courtesan to rid herself of that pesky detail. But now, staring (horrified) up at the gorgeous man her possible-husband turned out to be, she's reconsidering the whole scheme. Loving women is one of the few things he's good at...but he can't forget her! Life was going just fine-women, wine, more women-until Cameron MacKay's father sent him that blasted letter. He loves the dear old coot, of course, but marriage? Especially a marriage-by-proxy? Please, this isn't the fourteenth century! But when he opens the door to see the (horrified) expression on the face of his most recent client, Cam admits himself intrigued. And now the one thing she wants...is him! Cam knows why Jade doesn't want to be married, but when a deluge strands them together in his cottage, she decides on a new goal: him. Or maybe it's just that now she's tasted the pleasure he can offer her, she wants more. Either way, he's going to have to be the strong one in this crisis. Too bad he'll always be a rake at heart. Warning: There's nothing "too bad" about being a rake, right? Especially a rake stuck in a forced-proximity, oh-no-there's-only-one-bed, fighting-his-own-best-interests sort of situation! This one starts super spicy and continues that way, and is full of laugh-out-loud bits you've come to expect from one of Caroline's Victorian RomComs.

Book excerpt: Thaddeus (Tad) Darkin, the Duke of Lambeth, used to be a rake. In fact, before Lord Edon was scandalizing the Ton, Tad was the one everyone was talking about. Many gentlemen secretly wished they had his charm with the ladies. All reputable ladies were warned to stay as far from him as possible, which only made him all the more attractive. Then, after a tragic event, he took a vow of celibacy, promising he would never be intimate with another lady again. Over the years, this caused him to be the most sought-after single gentleman in all of London. And even though he doesn't want to marry, his steward left him in financial ruin, so whether he likes it or not, he must take a wife. After being rejected by the gentleman she was hoping to marry, Miss Loretta Bachman is on a mission to save her reputation. She needs to marry someone who will impress the prestigious ladies in her social circle. So when she catches the leader of the group talking about the very handsome and hard-to-get Duke of Lambeth, she's determined to get him to marry her. All she needs is a little bargaining power, and fortunately for her, she happens to have the money he needs to save his estate. When she learns of his vow to remain celibate, she agrees to keep away from his bed. After all, her only reason for marrying him is to secure her social standing in London, not to have a love match. All she asks is that he pretends to be deeply in love with her when they're in public. That way she will succeed in impressing the Ton. But before long, the lines between what is pretend and what is real starts to blur, and it's hard to decide how far to push the limits of their agreement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wallflower who trips through life… Lady Elizabeth Ashbrook is something of a klutz. Only this time the quiet, bookish young lady has literally fallen directly into the path of none other than the notoriously rakish Earl of Darington. When an accidental encounter appears rather compromising, Lady Elizabeth does what any sensible young lady would, and declares they are engaged. Even rakes can act the gentleman when necessary and Lord Darington does so by allowing her lie to stand, thus saving her reputation with the ridiculous claim. After all, they only need to be “betrothed” for a few weeks before calling their engagement off. And it will be called off. Lord Darington is enticing, smooth-talking, and as sure in his footing as he is in his own confidence. That is to say, he is everything Lady Elizabeth is not and the kind of gentleman that should make any lady guard her heart. In all possible ways, they are entirely ill-suited for one another…aren’t they?
