“So wonderfully different from the usual spinster trope . . . the divine prose is simply swoon worthy . . . A magnificent debut to a new series!” —Fresh Fiction (Fresh Pick)Once a rake . . . Known as “Magnificent Max,” diplomat Max Ransleigh was famed for his lethal charm until a political betrayal left him exiled from government and his reputation in tatters. He seems a very unlikely savior for a well-bred young lady.Except that Miss Caroline Denby doesn’t want to be saved . . . she wants to be ruined! To Caroline, getting married is tantamount to a death sentence, and meeting the rakish Max at a house party seems the answer to her prayers. Surely this rogue won’t hesitate to put his bad reputation to good use?“Outrageous and refreshingly inventive, with a lady in distress, an available rogue, and a marriage of convenience for all. Justiss encapsulates the period, language and mores of the Regency era with great skill.” —Romantic Times (4 stars)
