Writing the Rake

There is only one way this fake courtship can end. Disaster.

Alice Cunningham has always disdained a rake like Benjamin Luxington, but one thing could be said -- the man knew how to kiss. Perhaps it was worth potential ruination.

Only, Alice wants more than he can ever give. She wants love, romance, marriage -- the very things she writes about in her serial romances. But Benjamin isn't interested in any of those things. Of that, she is well aware, which is why she should stay far from a man like him. So why can't she stay away even though she, a woman who always writes a happily-ever-after, knows there is but one way this could end?

Benjamin knows he brings nothing but trouble to those he loves, which is why he has no intentions of ever settling down. When Alice begins asking the wrong people too many questions, however, her life is put in danger and Benjamin finds himself her unlikely savior and bodyguard. He soon realizes, however, that her greatest danger may not be those threatening her -- but rather his own inability to resist her.

Can they find out who holds malice toward Alice and save her life before they each lose their hearts?
