RAKE'S REWARD

Book 3 of Unsuitable Matches series

Kit Stratton, handsome playboy, lucky gambler, notorious rake—with a score to settle

When Marina Beaumont arrives in London, she expects to become the demure companion to Lady Luce, a reclusive old lady in her declining years. But after five years in exile in Vienna, Kit Stratton is back in England, bent on taking his revenge on Marina's employer, the old harridan who caused his disgrace and banishment.

On her very first evening, Marina is taken to a gambling hell where Lady Luce loses a fortune to Kit Stratton, the handsomest man Marina has ever set eyes on. And the most dangerous, too.

Unless Kit can be persuaded to forgive the debt, Marina will be packed off home without a penny of the wages her impoverished family so desperately needs. What choice does she have? Scandalous though it is, Marina must meet Kit Stratton alone to beg him not to claim the debt. Surely a gentleman will be open to persuasion? Especially by a lady?

But Kit Stratton is a notorious rake. Is he a gentleman at all?
And what reward will a rake demand in return for Lady Luce's debt of honour?
