In this captivating new historical romance brimming with seductive twists and irresistible wit, an English nobleman is finally free from exile-but can his heart still be captured?💍Historical romance💍Fake engagement💍Opposites attract💍Taming a rake_______________________________________________________________________The art of faking an engagement is never easy... After more than a decade, the Earl of Heathbrook returns to London to reclaim guardianship of his younger brothers. However, his reputation as a rake has followed him from France, and his own father has blocked Heathbrook's rightful custody in his will. But the clever rogue concocts the perfect plan to restore his reputation, and his inheritance . . . by finding a temporary fianc�e. Giselle Bernard is not looking to wed an earl with a wild past. All she seeks is a nobleman, who can legally secure her new life in England and head off a mysterious stranger's threats. Posing as Heathbrook's bride-to-be would surely benefit them both. But as their engagement charade unravels, neither expect it to blossom into a promise of love. . . For more dazzlingly romantic and witty historical romance, don't miss Sabrina's other gorgeous series including Lords of Hazard, Designing Debutantes, the Duke Dynasty series, The Sinful Suitors, The Hellions of Halstead Hall, The School for Heiresses and The Royal Brotherhood. ___________________________________________________________________________Praise for Sabrina Jefferies:'Anyone who loves romance must read Sabrina Jeffries!'
