Gareth

She's caught between a rake and certain ruin...

Felicity Worthington's only hope of avoiding poverty—or worse—is to accept her distant cousin's dubious bequest... a thriving, high-class brothel. Felicity has 90 days to convince her cousin's solicitors that Gareth Alexander has taught her the art of pleasing a man, though she's more interested in the gentleman she glimpses beneath Gareth's debauched airs, than in the rake he's become.

In the business of love...How much should he teach her?

Gareth Alexander, Marquis of Heathgate, has little incentive to help a spinster learn to manage a brothel—except that the alternatives for the prim, pretty Miss Worthington are even worse. His resistance to teaching Felicity how to be a madam leaves Gareth wondering if the honor he'd thought long dead still survives, and if that honor allows him to yield to the lady's ruinous scheme... and to their shared desires.

Book 6 in the Lonely Lords series. Gareth is the Lord of Rakes. I am just as partial to rakes as I am to highlanders. This rake was asked by a lady to teach her what she needs to know in order to inherit her cousin's business she needs to support herself and her sister, only to find that instead of ruining her, she redeems him.  Another wonderfully written story of redemption that is full of humor, secrets and action. I look forward to the next book in the series featuring Gareth's brother Andrew.
