I said on Friday, the month of May is an awesome month for Harlequin Historical. I have posted about High Plains Bride, Her Irish Warrior and Klondike Doctor, I didn’t know the others were going to sound great too.
The Rake and the Rebel by Mary Brendan
Miss Silver Meredith. Beautiful, just eighteen…and vulnerable to the worst sort of scandal after an attempted elopement goes wrong. Her reputation and her future depend on the silence of one man…
Adam, Marquess of Rockingham. A rake from the most notorious of noble families, he’s ruthless, charming and dangerous. He’s also still smarting about a graceless rejection from the only woman to whom he’s ever proposed marriage, the only woman he’s ever loved—Silver Meredith.
And now Silver’s fate is in Adam’s hands….
You may recall I talked about her last Harlequin Historical novel, A Scandalous Marriage, the UK version of this book has The Rake and The Rebel’s cover. This is amusing as Silver is June’s younger sister.
Should we pause here for discussion of the ever popular regency name Silver?
Done?
I have to admit I knew I was ordering this when I read the authors note in A Scandalous Marriage. A young woman, a rake, a proposal gone wrong and scandal a plenty… yep… so up my alley. But I am glad they didn’t use the UK cover (even though it matches my blog) because Silver looks way young on this cover, like 14 or 15ish. Or is that just me?
I know! Too young for me to read it.. who knew? 😉
