Description

David Brooks, Earl of Foxcroft had led a charmed life. Right up until his father died and he was forced to take responsibility for his family and the estates. His father had run the coffers nearly empty and it had been up to him to restore their fortune. He could have married an heiress, but felt that was a cowardly way out. Instead he built their fortune in a more scandalous way: by doing a trade and working. Now that he feels secure enough with his family's status he has decided to take a wife. Only one woman will do, but now that he can claim her she wants nothing to do with him.

It's been five years since the Earl of Foxcroft insulted Victoria. Her curves are still lush, but in a more sultry way. She has learned how to enhance her features by doing something a little scandalous: taking rogue lessons. All she needs is a gentleman well versed in everything roguish to give her those lessons.

Foxcroft seizes upon the opportunity. He is more than willing to use her curiosity to his advantage. As long as in the end, he's the only rogue she completes those skills with.
