Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake

There are things a lady simply does not do. She does not smoke. She does not fence or attend duels. She does not fire a pistol, and she never, ever sneaks into a men's club for a night of gambling and…other excitements.

Calpurnia Hartwell has spent a lifetime following the rules and, as a reward, she has been forgotten at the edges of society, unnoticed…and unsatisfied. So, what is a girl to do, but break the rules and get a taste of the life she has been missing?

Once Callie throws herself into a bold new world, she quickly realizes a taste will never be enough. She is going to need a partner—someone who knows everything about rule-breaking. Someone like Gabriel St. John, Marquess of Ralston—charming and handsome, with a scandalous reputation matched only by his wicked smile.

But the further Callie ventures into this new world, the further she gets from her family's expectations and all she once held dear. Will she be brave enough to leave her old life behind? Because she is about to break the most important rule of all—the one that says pleasure-seekers should never fall in love.
