    Emma Drake is as good as ruined already, thanks to her two older sisters. So, she might as well live up to her family name and do all the amusing and scandalous things she wants to before settling down in a loveless marriage with some dull man for the rest of her life. All she had to do is ensure she does not get caught. Simple! No one would ever expect her of doing anything remotely outrageous. Unfortunately, one man, a man she's been warned about, appears determined to squash her wild plans at every turn.

     

    Mr. Simon Kingsley, otherwise known as the King of Hell, knows one misstep could ruin a person for life. He sees it nightly in his successful gaming hell. And Emma Drake seems hellbent on her complete ruination. Simon may be a well-known scoundrel, but he isn't going to stand by and watch this beauty destroy any chance she has for a respectable life.

     

    Emma doesn't want to find Simon intriguing and sinfully attractive. Yes, he is a rake—and seducing a rake is on her list—but he's far too dangerous for an innocent like her. And any connection to him might destroy her family name entirely. Yet, she can't seem to stay away. Nor can Simon stay away from her. They quickly learn that her ten ways to ruin is narrowed down to just one. An event that may ruin them both—falling in love.

      In a moment of drunken inspiration, Harry, the future Duke of Worthington, makes a pact with Miss Louisa Drake. If they have not married in the next six years, they will wed. Genius! After all, he's already madly in love with her, although Louisa refuses to take him seriously. But years and circumstances tear them apart, until the dear friends barely know one another. Now Harry is a widower from a loveless marriage to a woman who was murdered. He no longer contemplates frivolous things like lost love and a deal made over too much brandy. So, he is beyond shocked when a bedraggled Louisa appears at his door, demanding marriage. When Louisa trudged through a blizzard to get to the wilds of Northumbria, it was never with the expectation that Harry would marry her. The old Harry would have seen through her scheme and teased her until she told him the truth. But this isn't the Harry she'd known. When he insists that he will not marry her, she demands he find her a suitable gentleman who will. She is even willing to return the favor and find him a wife too. It's a perfectly reasonable solution. Except Louisa never expects to find herself terribly attracted to this new Harry, a man now brooding and intense and absolutely irresistible. And she starts to realize she is, in fact, the very wife he needs to be happy again. But can Harry overcome the guilt and regrets of his first marriage, and allow himself to be with the woman he's never truly stopped loving? Or will Louisa end up marrying another and be lost to Harry? This time forever.
