My Fake Rake

Product Description

In the first book in Eva Leigh's new Union of the Rakes series, a bluestocking enlists a faux suitor to help her land an ideal husband only to be blindsided by real desire... Lady Grace Wyatt is content as a wallflower, focusing on scientific pursuits rather than the complications of society matches. But when a handsome, celebrated naturalist returns from abroad, Grace wishes, for once, to be noticed. Her solution: to build the perfect man, who will court her publicly and help her catch his eye. Grace s colleague, anthropologist Sebastian Holloway, is just the blank slate she requires. To further his own research on English society, Sebastian agrees to let Grace transform him from a bespectacled, bookish academic into a dashing albeit fake rake. Between secret lessons on how to be a rogue and exaggerated public flirtations, Grace s feelings for Sebastian grow from friendship into undeniable, inconvenient, real attraction. If only she hadn t asked him to help her marry someone else... Sebastian is in love with brilliant, beautiful Grace, but their bargain is complete, and she desires another. Yet when he s faced with losing her forever, Sebastian will do whatever it takes to tell her the truth, even if it means risking his own future and his heart.
