The Ruin of a Rogue (The Wild Quartet Book 2)

Marcus Lithgow is a rake who has used charm and wit to gamble successfully across the Continent. When he inherits a ramshackle estate in England, he needs funding to make it respectable—and he sees Anne Brotherton's substantial dowry as the solution. Anne is tired of being pursued for her wealth rather than her character. She wants men to value her sharp mind and kind heart. When she meets the handsome and charming Marcus, she is drawn to him, but soon realizes she is being manipulated. Determined to turn the tables, Anne decides to play her own game of deception. As Marcus and Anne engage in their schemes, they discover that the rules of love are more complicated than either anticipated.
