Description

The marriage game is afoot in this clever blend of My Fair Lady meets Pride and Prejudice with a twist!

Edward Stanhope, the icy Duke of Thornfield, likes his life in a certain order. Give him a strong drink, a good book, and his dog for company, and he’s content. But when he goes to his library and finds a woman sitting in his chair and petting his dog, a fiery battle of wits ensues—leading to a steamy kiss that could ruin them both if they were caught.

Of course, that’s precisely when Edward’s aunt walks in, and introduces Miss Georgiana Bly…the future Duchess of Thornfield.

Georgiana was content to be a spinster, spending her days reading and working to keep her family out of debt. But now her days are spent locked away with a growly duke and learning how to be the perfect duchess, and her nights are spent fighting the undeniable attraction to a man who was never meant for her.

As their wedding day approaches, the attraction between them burns hot and fierce, but is it enough to melt the duke’s chilly facade?

Each book in the Never a Wallflower series is STANDALONE:
* The Spinster and the Rake
* Much Ado About Dukes
* The Duke's Secret Cinderella

    I read this book in a day! The witty banter between the two main characters was smart, hilarious and sexy. Georgiana is a strong female lead and Edward is perfectly matched to her.
  • Wonderful book!

    I loved “The “Spinster & the Rake“. It grabbed me from page 1 and I didn’t want to put it down, or for it to end. Edward - the rake, was so broken and desperately needed the love of Georgianna, a strong and feisty woman who had planned to be a spinster because she didn’t fit the mold of the perfect woman in the regency era. They had many adventures and it had a very satisfying ending.

    The writing, the feeling poured into the pages is phenomenal! Not filled with pages and pages of explicit sex…but with feelings, with all the emotions and the culmination of triumph. Thank you so much for this best of books!

    The first 3/4th of the book were fun, romantic and informative. The ending was cheesy and the wrong ppl took the blame. Felt like the book went in a completely different direction. No real mystery or angst in the book.
