Description

USA Todaybestselling author Lenora Bell returns to the Wallflowers vs. Rogues series with a brilliant new novel about a scandalous duke and a wallflower with a secret.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a wicked duke who has gambled away his fortune must be in want of an heiress.

Scarred by a dark secret, Brandan Delamar, Duke of Westbury, must concede his misdeeds have finally caught up with him. With five younger sisters to support, he must marry for money.

Sunny and steadfast, Viola Beaton is no heiress. As music instructor to the dukes sisters, shes developed a genuine affection for the bright young ladies. Unfortunately, shes also developed a forbidden passion for her wildly attractive employer.

It must be the way he inspires her to compose sonatas about moonlight and kisses. Or how his gaze smolders and lingers on her skin. Or because he makes her heart whisper impossible things.

When Westbury decrees that hell choose not only a bride, but grooms for his sisters, Viola cant allow him to curtail their freedom. She strikes a bargain: if he allows his sisters to attend the Season, Viola will chaperone them and keep them safe from scandal.

Only...what if Viola and the duke are the ones most likely to cause a scandal

Reviews

"If you've been looking for a bold, new voice in historical romance, the search ends here. Lenora Bell is it." -- Sarah MacLean, New York Times bestselling author

"Bell is skilled at crafting a warm world, populated with inviting characters. The dialogue is sparkling, lilting across the page... Love Is a Rogue is a love letter to bookish girls, a reminder that our greatest power often lies within ourselves--if we'll only have the courage to unleash it." -- Entertainment Weekly

"[A] sparkling launch ... Witty, insightful dialogue and expertly developed characters fill the chapters of this page-turner. Gripping and emotionally charged, this romance promises more good things from the series to come." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Love Is a Rogue

"The second book in Bell's Wallflowers vs. Rogues series is a charming enemies-to-lovers tale... With lots of winemaking detail and good attention to the obliviousness of the ton, it's a historical romance with great depth. A sweet slow burn of a Regency romance." -- Kirkus Reviews on The Devil's Own Duke

"Enchanting...The romantic tension is ever-simmering, enhanced by Ash's determination not to fall in love and Hetty's single-minded quest to gain recognition for her wines. Fast-paced plotting keeps the pages turning, making for a magnetic historical romance." -- Publishers Weekly on The Devil's Own Duke
