Meredith Duran returns with another witty, humorous and smart romance in the second book of her Rules for the Reckless series, and winner of the 2015 RITA for Historical Fiction. Fans of Julia Quinn, Jane Feather and Eloisa James will delight in Meredith’s trademark headstrong heroine, cunning hero and tale of deep emotional intensity!
Sensible and lonely, Olivia Mather survives by her wits – and her strict policy of avoiding trouble. But when she realises that the Duke of Marwick might hold the secrets of her family’s past, she does the unthinkable, infiltrating his household as a maid. She’ll clean his study and rifle through his papers looking for information.
Alastair de Grey has a single reason to live: vengeance. More beautiful than Lucifer, twice as feared, and thrice as cunning, he’ll use any weapon to punish those who fooled and betrayed him – even an impertinent maid who doesn’t know her place. But the more fascinated he becomes with the uppity redhead, the more dangerous his carefully designed plot becomes. For the one contingency he forgot to plan for was falling in love…and he cannot survive being fooled again.
