Book excerpt: The only way to expose a rake is to conspire with one...in this lively novel from USA Today bestselling author Eva Devon For as long as pamphlet writer Rose Digby can remember, certain men of the ton gallivant about town with their own set of rules. Whether it’s gambling, drink, or women, these playboys of London suffer no consequences. When someone she holds dear falls prey to a rake of the highest order, Rose is determined to expose them all. But she needs a way to enter their world undetected... Alexander Markby, the sixth Earl of Derby is her brother’s closest friend and is positively rife with roguishness. Too much money, too much time, and much too well-endowed...with good looks (obviously). He’s the perfect cover to help Rose infiltrate his world. He has just one rule. In the name of “protecting” her—she must pose as his mistress. The very idea! Now Rose will have to become what she loathes. She’ll have to flutter her eyelashes, flatter the Earl of Derby, and pretend to be completely, utterly, and totally smitten with him. But it’s for a good cause. Because there’s nothing more dangerously charming—and completely ruinous—than a rake. No matter if he’s friend, foe...or hiding a secret that will shake the foundations of Rose’s world.

A young woman wakes up finding herself lacking not only her memory- but she is in the woods!

The Marquess of Cromwell does not belive in Fate, but when he stumbles upon Charlotte during a fox hunt and later trying to flee charges of theft, she inevitably lands into his care and -ahem- lap he is rather put out but highly intrigued. Through poisoning, jealousy, and a horrid kidnapping can they manage to realize that they belong with each other? Can he give himself to her? Or will propriety and placement in society keep him from what he wants most? Will Charlotte find out who she really is, and what it is that lurks in the darkness of her mind?

Even worse, his wealthy ward has brought her half-sister, the beautiful but penniless Isobel, with her. Leo must find Clarissa a suitable husband, but her illegitimate half sister, Izzy, is quite another matter. Her lowly birth makes her quite unacceptable in London’s aristocratic circles. However, the girls are devoted to each other and despite the risk of scandal if Izzy’s parentage is discovered, they refuse to be separated. To Leo’s frustration, nothing will convince them otherwise. Even worse, sparks fly every time Leo and Izzy interact. Called away to his country estate, Leo instructs the young ladies to stay quietly at home. But when he returns, he's infuriated to discover that Izzy and Clarissa have launched themselves into society — with tremendous success! There's no going back. Now Leo must enter society to protect Clarissa from fortune hunters, and try not to be driven mad by the sharp-witted, rebellious, and intoxicating Izzy.
