Welcome to Seducing September’s Scoundrel, the captivating ninth installment of The Rake Review series.
When Hadrian Oakfield, the Earl of Whitby, is chosen as the rake of September, his world is turned upside down. His father, the Duke of Blackthorn, is so irate and embarrassed by the negative publicity that he demands that his oldest son and heir find a wife and settle down.
But when Hadrian sees his old childhood friend, Lady Lilliana Bennett, at the first ball he attends, he devises a plan he thinks will help them both. Lilliana is a wallflower whose family has fallen upon hard times. Hadrian proposes a marriage of convenience, allowing him to continue his rakish lifestyle in the city while she retires to his estate in the countryside, where she can garden and read to her heart’s desire. She has no choice but to accept, even though she has carried a torch for him as long as she can remember.
Unfortunately for Hadrian, his father has figured out his scheme and threatens to cut him off if he doesn’t produce an heir. Trapped together on Hadrian’s country estate, they struggle to rework the boundaries of their relationship. Can Lilliana find the courage to seduce September’s Scoundrel?
