USA Today bestselling author Caroline Linden's third novel in her
Scandalous series brings together a feisty heiress, a notorious rake,
and a shocking book that could bring one woman the utmost despair-- or
the greatest pleasure.
Penelope Weston does not like Benedict Lennox, Lord Atherton. He may be
the suave and charming heir to an earl, as well as the most handsome man
on earth, but she can't forget how he abandoned a friend in need-- nor
how he once courted her sister, Abigail. He's the last man she would
ever marry. If only she didn't feel so attracted to the arrogant
scoundrel . . .
Once upon a time, Benedict thought he and Penelope got along rather
well. Though he needs a wealthy bride to escape his cruel father's
control, spirited Penelope just doesn't suit his plans for a model
marriage--until a good deed goes awry, and scandalous rumors link his
name to Penelope's. She might not be the quiet, sensible wife he thought
he wanted, but she is beautiful . . . beguiling . . . and far more
passionate than he ever imagined. Can a marriage begun in scandal become
a love match, too?
