Everyone has plans … until something—or someone—comes along to change them. At thirty-five, Randall, Marquess of Reading, decides it's time to trade in his life as the ‘Rake of Reading’ and take a wife. Trouble is, his reputation precedes him. When Constance meets him in the park, she's intrigued by the gentleman she thinks is a well-to-do cit with a fascination for horse racing. Determined to discover what’s become of her inheritance and then return to her home and horses to live as an independent woman, she’s not interested in being courted. Or is she? Eleanor Merriweather is in London for her come-out with a dream to marry her perfect knight. Having been duped by a brothel's madame upon her arrival, she finds herself completely and thoroughly ruined by Charles, Earl of Wakefield. Only twenty-five, he enjoys life far too much to consider marriage, but Eleanor might be the one to change his mind on the matter—except she’s in love with his brother! Since not everyone is who they seem to be, it may take a bit of horse sense for these four to get on the right track in The Love of a Rake.
