When a shy spinster and an impulsive rake matchmake their friends, sparks fly.

Lady Joan keeps looking about to ensure everyone around her is happy. So when the best plan for everyone else’s happiness involves her fake dating a rake, she doesn’t think twice about it. But a–very pleasurable—night out on the balcony of a ballroom has her head spinning. Could the ton’s notorious rake be the one she falls for?

James, Duke of Cornwell, uses women to get what he wants only for as long as he wants it. So when he ends up in a fake courtship with Joan, he does so with the end in sight. But then he shares a kiss—and more—and finds out that his shy woman has a passionate inner goddess desperate to be loosed.

What does it take for a rake to fall for a wallflower? Only a bit of dagger-throwing, boat-rowing, and balcony-trysting. But will it be enough?

If you like witty banter, shenanigans, and sweet and spicy regency romances, you’ll love this standalone love story by Eliana Piers.

This series is part of Dragonblade's Flame line, so this is a scorching-hot read with open-door steam.
