To Wed a Rake

A “sophisticated, witty” (Romantic Times) and scandalous tale of love from New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James.

AVAILABLE DIGITALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME

Gilbert Baring-Gould, the Earl of Kerr, has no plans to settle down…regardless of his fiancée Emma, who lives in the country.

But Miss Emma Loudan is no quiet country mouse.

When the earl goes too far, announcing he won’t marry until his fiancée has his ring on her finger and his baby on the way, Emma takes matters into her own hands.

Before he knows it, Gil will find that his ring—and his virtue—are no longer his own…

And he’s fighting the battle of his life to woo the woman he planned to throw away.  


To Wed a Rake was previously published as A Proper Englishwoman in the anthology Talk of the Ton.
“An enchanting story.”—Rakehell.com

“Ms. James’s wry humor shines in a series of letters that showcase the ton’s love of scandal and the titillation or horror it elicits, depending on whether or not one is involved. She evinces her understanding of human nature with both irony and empathy as she develops her characters. And treats her readers with a highly original scene of seduction.”—Romance Reviews Today

“A delightful romp that takes our hearts along for the ride.”—Fresh Fiction
