Description

No good deed goes unpunished…and no blackguard unloved.

Lucien Grenier, Duke of Crewe, prides himself on his reputation – selfish, black, and wicked. Or, at least, that’s what he wants everyone to believe. What better way to keep society from discovering his secrets? But when rumors arise that he is doing good deeds for charities, children, reformers—even nuns—he has far more to lose than his wicked reputation; he might just lose his dukedom.

Jessamyn St Claire is determined to hit Lucien where it hurts most—his black reputation. Eight months ago, he ruined her sister, and now Jess wants retribution. Her plan? To take Lucien from rakehell to respected peer unless he marries her sister. But as Jess works to rehabilitate his character, she discovers that Lucien’s bad reputation is mere pretense. The more she uncovers, the more she learns of his goodness…and the more he captures her heart. Soon, it isn’t Amanda whom Lucien wants to marry but Jess.

Little does she know that there’s one remaining secret with the power to destroy them both…

If you’re looking for a reformed rake with a heart of gold and a heroine who can hold her own, look no further than this delightful romp through London’s scandalous high society!

Lucien Grenier, the Duke of Crewe, is the bad boy with a wicked reputation, or so he desperately wants you to think. When whispers start circulating that he’s been doing the unthinkable—helping charities, children, and (gasp!) even nuns—he’s got a lot more to lose than his title. Enter Jessamyn St. Claire, who’s on a mission to ruin Lucien’s life… by redeeming it. Eight months ago, he ruined her sister, and now Jess wants revenge. But what starts as a clever plan to hit Lucien where it hurts—his bad-boy image—quickly becomes something much more complicated.

As Jess peels back Lucien’s many layers (spoiler: they’re all surprisingly soft and good-hearted), she finds herself falling for the very man she swore to take down. Suddenly, it’s not her sister Amanda that Lucien’s looking to marry—it’s Jess, and she’s got quite the decision to make.

This book has all the fun of a reputation-destroying scheme gone wrong, with plenty of witty banter, unexpected twists, and a leading duo whose chemistry practically sizzles off the page. If you love a good enemies-to-lovers tale with some heartwarming redemption, this one’s for you!
