In a world ruled by decorum and deception, notorious rake Lord Alistair Blackwood is forced into a marriage of convenience to protect his reputation. But his bride, Miss Evelyn Thornton, is far from the innocent country miss she appears to be. Beneath her demure exterior lies a fascination with forbidden desires—a passion that matches Alistair's darkest cravings. Bound together by blackmail, Alistair and Evelyn embark on a sensual journey through London’s glittering ballrooms and shadowy clubs. What begins as a reluctant marriage becomes an exploration of desire, trust, and the depths of their connection. But as a mysterious enemy threatens to expose their secrets, Alistair and Evelyn must decide if they can trust each other before their passion turns into scandal. If you’re a fan of Sarah MacLean, Lisa Kleypas, or Tessa Dare, The Rake’s Scandalous Bride will sweep you away with its intoxicating blend of steamy romance, intrigue, and a love that dares to defy society's rules.
