The Rake's Ruined Lady by Mary Brendan
Dishonourable intentions on his mind!
Beatrice Dewey keeps falling for unsuitable men... She believes the man she loved, Hugh Kendrick, is lost to her for ever, and now her new fiance has cancelled their wedding!
But then Hugh re-enters her life, trailing rumours of illicit love affairs in his wake. Instead of marriage he offers her a very public, passionate kiss! To succumb to his skilful seduction would be the ultimate road to ruin, but is there enough of the old Hugh left to convince Bea to give him another chance?
