Rakish Life/Reforming the Rake/The Rake's Proposal by Sarah Elliott

Reforming The Rake

After so many fruitless years on the ton's marriage mart, Beatrice Sinclair's life on the shelf seemed the more appealing prospect. At least as an avowed spinster, she wouldn't be bound by the silliness women went through to catch even the dullest of husbands!

Still, secretly, she yearned for romance - bone-melting, scandalous romance. If truth be told, what she really wanted - even if only for one mad, family-shocking moment - was a rake. And Charles Summerson, Marquess of Pelham, tall, dark and notorious, seemed only too happy to oblige!

The Rake's Proposal

A scandalous secret was part of the dowry Katherine Sutcliff would bring to her bridal bed. And any prospective suitor on the marriage mart would have to live with it - or live without her! But her pressing need for a suitable match was diverted by her most unsuitable attraction to the disreputable Lord Benjamin Sinclair.

A rakish life had been Benjamin's choice, but now the adventurous gentleman was tempted to stay closer to home. How else could he keep a watchful eye on Kate, when the gangly girl he'd teased in childhood had grown into a most unconventional beauty?
