The Rake's Insatiable Bride
(2022)(The third book in the Those Kilted Bastards series)
A novel by Caroline Lee
She’ll do things her way, or not at all…and that includes marriage!
Industrialist Jade Thacker is used to being in control of her own life. Which is why it’s damned galling to learn her well-meaning guardian plans to marry her off before she comes into full control of her inheritance! And a betrothal is one thing, but what’s this nonsense about marriage-by-proxy? Is she married, or isn’t she?
Well, there’s one thing she can still control: her virginity. Which is why she visited London’s most infamous male courtesan to rid herself of that pesky detail. But now, staring (horrified) up at the gorgeous man her possible-husband turned out to be, she’s reconsidering the whole scheme.
Loving women is one of the few things he’s good at…but he can’t forget her!
Life was going just fine—women, wine, more women—until Cameron MacKay’s father sent him that blasted letter. He loves the dear old coot, of course, but marriage? Especially a marriage-by-proxy? Please, this isn’t the fourteenth century! But when he opens the door to see the (horrified) expression on the face of his most recent client, Cam admits himself intrigued.
And now the one thing she wants…is him!
Cam knows why Jade doesn’t want to be married, but when a deluge strands them together in his cottage, she decides on a new goal: him. Or maybe it’s just that now she’s tasted the pleasure he can offer her, she wants more. Either way, he’s going to have to be the strong one in this crisis.
Too bad he’ll always be a rake at heart.
Warning: There’s nothing “too bad” about being a rake, right? Especially a rake stuck in a forced-proximity, oh-no-there’s-only-one-bed, fighting-his-own-best-interests sort of situation! This one starts super spicy and continues that way, and is full of laugh-out-loud bits you’ve come to expect from one of Caroline’s Victorian RomComs.
Genre: Historical Romance
