Love the Rake Your With

When the one woman he wants is meant for his brother…

Mr. Severn Westmore never intended to be a rake. But London offered Severn no shortage of pleasures, and he saw no reason to resist. As an illegitimate son, he has no profession, expectations or fortune. But then he falls in love at first kiss with Miss Tilly Perkins, a wealthy, innocent he can never have. Worse, Tilly is practically promised to his legitimate half-brother and best friend, George.

Their sister, a marchioness, arranges a house party at George’s Somerset estate, inviting five eligible ladies, though George vows no woman can change his mind. Tilly will be his fiancé at the party’s end.

Tilly arrives at Parkhorne Hall expecting George Salisbury will soon propose. Instead, her hostess often pairs her with Severn, who confuses her by awakening decidedly improper feelings.

Severn vows to support George’s suit, and Tilly remains convinced she will accept George’s proposal, even as she and Severn find themselves in several compromising situations, fiercely tempting their self-control. Will Severn and Tilly sacrifice their hearts for duty and loyalty or risk everything for an unexpected love?
