Publisher Description
From the USA Today bestselling author of The Untouchables series comes your next Regency obsession: The Spitfire Society... Meet the smart, independent women who’ve decided they don’t need Society’s rules, their families’ expectations, or, most importantly, a husband. But just because they don’t need a man doesn’t mean they might not want one.
When notorious rake Marcus Raleigh, Marquess of Ripley, meets a beautiful spinster, he wagers her that she’ll kiss him within a fortnight. She is not the type of woman that draws his eye, but for the first time in his life, he’s seduced by something he never knew he wanted—female friendship. Though he’s beguiled beyond reason, Marcus ultimately releases her from their wager only to find himself tangled so deeply in desire that he can’t walk away...
After abandoning her philandering betrothed at the altar, Phoebe Lennox fled from London only to return an heiress who refuses to follow the ton’s rules. She won’t risk a relationship of any kind—until she meets the scandalous Marquess of Ripley. Captivated by his charm and surprised by his compassion, she is tempted to succumb to just one kiss. Until that isn’t enough. But when Marcus’s cousin is found murdered, can the delicate bond between them survive?
Customer Reviews
The Rake and the Spinster.
Phoebe jilted her bridegroom on his wedding day and only because she is wealthy has she not been totally shunned, as it is invitations are not precisely flowing. However that doesn’t concern Phoebe, who delights in being a spinster and not caring what Society thinks. When she meets the notorious rake Marcus Raleigh, Marquess of Ripley she does have some qualms though, any association with him will rip what remaining reputation she has into shreds. But, oh it is so pleasant to flirt with him!
Neither Marcus nor Phoebe have any intention of marrying but their attraction to each other leads to scandalous behaviour behind closed doors - reader you have been warned! Recommended read.
