Chivalrous Rake, Scandalous Lady (Mills & Boon Historical) (Mills & Boon Hardback Historical) - Hardcover

Once he offered for her hand...

Beautiful recluse Miss Jemma Bailey is mortified when her interfering cousin implores Marcus Speer to marry her! Jemma has spent years trying to forget her passionate response to Marcus’s seductive touch, and the scandal when she rejected his proposal. But the ruthless gleam in Marcus’s eyes tells Jemma he remembers everything! ...now he’ll take her virtue!

Marcus won’t let the alluring Jemma go until he’s exacted his long-awaited revenge for her debutante flirtation – he’ll bed her rather than wed her! Though soon this isn’t nearly enough...

Regency Rogues Ripe for a scandal. Ready for a bride.

Mary Brendan was always a keen reader of historical romance, and she decided to try her hand at writing a Regency novel during her youngest son's afternoon naps. What started as a lazy lunchtime indulgence, sandwich in one hand, notepad in the other, soon developed into a highly enjoyable part-time occupation. When time permits, she relaxes by browsing junk shops for curios and antiques, or by visiting the local Tandoori for a prawn dansak and a glass or two of red wine.
