He has no time for games…She’s ready to play... With her father leading a life of debauchery, Lady Aphrodite is the laughing stock of London. Still, she pretends to wear her reputation of a hoyden like a badge of honor. Cheated on and humiliated across every acre of the Ton, Oswald Bristol, the Earl of Tennesley, needs to find a timid wife this time. But relying on a matchmaker seems more than ridiculous to him. Except, an odd thing happens when the man who has spent his life being proper overhears a lady of loose morals calling him a bore. Determined not to let this slight pass, he takes it upon himself to prove her wrong. Even if that means putting her in greater danger than he realizes.

For who would dare love a woman with a curse? Lady Daphne Wilson was born different. Deemed cursed by her own father, she has lived hidden away from society. But with the certainty of spinsterhood closing in on her, take matters into her own hands she must. And she will. Rake. Arrogant. Reckless. These are the only names, Maxwell Belmont, the Marquess of Crawford knows of himself. And even if he hates that he has become the spitting image of his father, he knows he is incapable of love. But whatever resolutions Maxwell has made this Christmas to marry a placid and timid wife, come crashing down when he stumbles into an angel. Only… even with the rumors attached to her name, angels are not supposed to be so wickedly seductive, are they?
