About The Rake's Wicked Proposal

Society knows Lucian St. Claire, 28, to be one of the wickedest rakes around. His heart is out of reach, but he can certainly charm a lady. Now the time has come for Lucian to produce an heir--so first he must choose a wife! Vivacious and high-spirited, Grace Hetherington is definitely not the kind of woman he's looking for. Yet there's something irresistible about her--and when they're caught in a rather compromising situation, he has no choice but to make her his convenient bride....
