Cocky August Rake (The Rake Review, Season Two #8)

She’s a courtesan pretending to be a lady. He’s a rake who has never been touched.

Rose has survived by learning what gentlemen want—and becoming exactly that.

But when she reads in The Rake Review that the Duke of Malum’s younger brother intends to close the Domus Emporium, she slips into a masquerade determined to discover his plans.

Lord Reginald Preston has spent years at sea, far from ballrooms, scandals, and temptation. Now he’s inherited responsibility for London’s most notorious house of pleasure… with one mortifying secret.

For all the wicked whispers attached to his name, Reginald is entirely innocent.

Then he meets her. And the greatest scandal is not what happens between them… it’s how badly they both want more.
