The Rakehell’s Seduction: The Seduction Series, Book 2

Smith (A Gentleman Never Surrenders) transforms the ultimate rake into the ultimate Prince Charming in this strong Regency tale. After a broken engagement, Lady Alexandra Westfall decides never to marry and instead seeks independence. Unbeknownst to her, there’s a bet on to see who can seduce and ruin her first; the man who can prove he’s done it will receive 5,000 pounds. Although Ambrose Worthing has earned his rakish reputation and has no intention of changing his ways, his family’s connection to Alex prompts him to protect her from the competition—by entering it. Upon meeting Alex, however, Ambrose finds her genuinely attractive; as they become friends, his charms prove to be too much for her. When an opponent in the wager shows up, Ambrose must walk a fine line between protecting Alex and keeping the nature of the wager a secret from her for fear of alienating her. Smith does an outstanding job of showing the passion and sensuality between the characters, while delivering a number of surprising plot twists. Fans of Regency romances will enjoy this. (BookLife)
