A Rake at Heart by Trix Payne (How To Steal the Heart of a Rake #1)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 838 kB
Overview: London, 1815.
Frances Catesby may be an heiress, but she has no intention of losing her wealth to a fortune-hunting husband. In fact, she has no intention of marrying at all. All that this spirited and determined young woman cares about is finishing her book on gross anatomy, which she has been studying in secret (thanks, in no small part, to the help of London’s most notorious grave-robbing ring). But Frances has one big problem: in order to complete her book, she needs access to the Royal College of Surgeons, and there’s no way they’ll allow a woman into those hallowed halls.
Viscount Arthur Ashford has no intention of marrying either. After the death of his fiancé a decade earlier, Robert is now a confirmed rake. He would rather spend his day gambling, drinking, and romancing women than carrying out his duties as the new Lord of Cletchum Hall—including taking over his late father’s seat on the board of the Royal College of Surgeons. But Arthur has one big problem: his father’s death has revealed a dwindling fortune, and if Arthur wants to save his family’s estate, he’ll have to marry an heiress and fast.
Genre: Fiction > Romance
During Wellington’s annual ball at their country estate, Arthur and Frances immediately clash. Frances despises Arthur’s womanizing, unserious ways, while Arthur finds Frances proud and unladylike.
However, the pair soon realize they may be the answer to each other’s prayers: Frances’s fortune will save the Wellington family from ruin, while Robert can use his influence at the College to get Frances the help she needs.
A marriage of convenience seems like the perfect solution. They both agree: no feelings, no romance, and certainly no physical intimacy. But as they begin to share a home – and a bed – sparks (and secrets) are soon revealed.
Can Arthur see past the early tragedy that steeled his heart to love?
Can Frances embrace a life of intellectual curiosity and of love?
Can the two of them out-wit their scandal-thirsty society, a gang of grave robbers hell-bent on revenge, and Robert’s ghosts to find true love?
