Perfect for you if...

  • You love historical romance where the rake actually deserves redemption and proves it through genuine sacrifice, not just grand gestures.
  • You're drawn to strong heroines with agency who won't tolerate men who haven't earned their trust, no matter how charming they are.
  • You want a love story that builds slowly with banter and respect at its core, set against the glamour and intrigue of Georgian England.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer heroes without a roguish past or prefer moral perfection from the start—Gareth's reputation is real and took time to overcome.
  • You're looking for fast-paced plot-driven adventure over character-driven emotional development and relationship building.
  • You find period romance settings tedious or need contemporary settings to stay engaged with a story.

About this book

England, 1776. Lord Gareth de Montforte, the black sheep of his aristocratic family, is known as a charming rake with a reckless reputation. When he takes a bullet stopping a stagecoach robbery, he discovers the woman he rescued is Juliet Paige, his late brother's American fiancée, who is traveling with her infant daughter to claim the child's rightful name. Gareth's brother, the duke, refuses to acknowledge Juliet and her child. But Gareth insists on protecting them, driven by honor. He finds himself unexpectedly drawn to this courageous, cautious woman. Juliet crossed the ocean for her daughter's future, not to fall for an aristocrat dismissed by society. Yet Gareth makes her laugh, understands her, and loves with a steadiness that contradicts his wild reputation. As obstacles mount and his own family opposes them, Juliet must decide whether to trust the man willing to fight for her. The Wild One is the first book in the De Montforte Brothers series.
