He’s the Duke of Scandal. She’s the girl next door. Together, they’re about to upend the ton.

Lady Melanie Rutherford has spent the last year avoiding Society’s harsh glare. After a devastating family tragedy, she’s become more comfortable in the shadows than in the spotlight—until a scandal threatens to destroy her family for good. Desperate to protect her loved ones, she makes a shocking proposal to the Duke of Malum: a fake betrothal to quiet the gossips.

The Duke of Malum thrives on defying society’s expectations. With a mysterious past, a dangerous reputation, and a risqué gentlemen's club to his name, he’s the last man anyone would expect to play hero. But when a baby is left on his doorstep—and a determined young lady barges into his life—Malum finds himself entangled in more ways than one.

With secrets mounting, an irate brother, and danger lurking around every corner, their charade transforms into something real. Will their heart’s desires be extinguished, or can true love burn brighter than the flames of the past?

Scandal, romance, and surprises await in Regent Street Rogue.

Regent Street Rogue

Regent Street Rogue is book six in The Rakes of Rotten Row series by Annabelle Anders. I think this story is a great wrap up to a truly well written series. Harold Preston, the Duke of Malum is the character who has a dark presence throughout the other stories. He is a duke who has “cut” society by withdrawing from it and by managing a brothel, the Domus Emporium. The heroine is Lady Melanie Rutherford, the Earl of Standish’s little sister. Standish was the hero in book one Hanover Square Spare. I enjoyed how this author wove all of the characters in the books in and out of each story. This book is definitely not meant to be a stand alone read. There are quite a few very steamy scenes as well. I also enjoyed the humor sprinkled throughout the book. And there are some truly unexpected plot twists that I just didn’t see coming. Overall, a great ending to a really well written series.
