Never Trust a Rake

Overview: ANNIE BURROWS has been making up stories for her own amusement since she first went to school. As soon as she got the hang of using a pencil she began to write them down. Her love of books meant she had to do a degree in English literature. And her love of writing meant she could never take on a job where she didn’t have time to jot down notes when inspiration for a new plot struck her. She still wants the heroines of her stories to wear beautiful floaty dresses and triumph over all that life can throw at them. But when she got married she discovered that finding a hero is an essential ingredient to arriving at ‘happy ever after'. RUMOUR HAS IT THAT THE EARL OF DEBEN, THE MOST NOTORIOUS RAKE IN LONDON AND IN NEED OF AN HEIR, HAS SET ASIDE HIS PENCHANT FOR MARRIED MISTRESSES AND TURNED HIS SKILLED HAND TO SEDUCING INNOCENTS! But if Lord Deben expects Henrietta Gibson to respond to the click of his fingers he's got another think coming. For she knows perfectly well why she should avoid gentlemen of his bad repute: 1. One touch of his lips and he'll ruin her for every other man. 2. One glide of his skilful fingers to the neckline of her dress will leave her molten in his arms. 3. And if even one in a thousand rumours is true, it's enough for her to know she can never, ever trust a rake...
