Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake

A lady does not smoke cheroot. She does not ride astride. She does not fence or attend duels. She does not fire a pistol, and she never gambles at a gentlemenamp;#39;s club.

Lady Calpurnia Hartwell has always followed the rules, rules that have left her unmarriedamp;#8212;and more than a little unsatisfied. And so sheamp;#39;s vowed to break the rules and live the life of pleasure sheamp;#39;s been missing.

But to dance every dance, to steal a midnight kissamp;#8212;to do those things, Callie will need a willing partner. Someone who knows everything about rule-breaking. Someone like Gabriel St. John, the Marquess of Ralstonamp;#8212;charming and devastatingly handsome, his wicked reputation matched only by his sinful smile.

If sheamp;#39;s not careful, sheamp;#39;ll break the most important rule of allamp;#8212;the one that says that pleasure-seekers should never fall hopelessly, desperately in love . . .
