The Good Girl’s Guide to Rakes was one spicy historical romance. But when someone discovers their midnight exploits, Celeste’s freedom and reputation are endangered, and Kieran must save the woman he loves… respectable or not. As they spend more time together, their initial attraction builds to a desperate desire that neither can ignore. In between proper teas and garden parties, Kieran escorts Celeste-disguised as “Salome”-to rowdy gaming hells, wild fêtes, and sensual art salons. When Kieran-her older brother’s best friend and an irresistibly attractive rogue-begs for her help, Celeste makes a deal: she’ll introduce him to the right social circles if he’ll show her the scandalous side of London. But keeping a spotless reputation leaves little room for adventure and she longs to escape her gilded cage, especially with her impending engagement to a stuffy earl. Or does he?Ĭeleste Kilburn is a society darling, beloved by influential members of the ton. But as one of London’s most inveterate scoundrels, Kieran doesn’t know any ladies who fit the bill. When Kieran Ransome’s latest antics result in a massive scandal, his father issues an ultimatum: find a respectable wife or inherit nothing. In USA TODAY bestselling author Eva Leigh’s new novel a notorious rake and an innocent debutante strike a scandalous bargain… Rob’s books are published all over the world in twenty-two languages, and I get to tag along with him on trips to such places as Chengdu (where he was given the top Chinese science-fiction award as “the most popular foreign author”), the Canary Islands (where we met Stephen Hawking and went beachcombing with Neil deGrasse Tyson!), and Cambridge University (where he gave a talk in honour of Charles Darwin attended by Darwin’s grandson). The difference between him being a scrawny student with a scraggly beard in the 1970s and being - if a wife may brag a bit! - the bestselling Hugo and Nebula Award-winning member of both the Order of Ontario and the Order of Canada that he is today? He has better toys now! In our living room, you’ll find a gorgeous 33-inch model of the original starship Enterprise, $150 Japanese action figures from Planet of the Apes, and a talking HAL 9000 replica mounted on the wall. And his favourite place is still the same: back in high school, he had his eye set on working at the Royal Ontario Museum (he wanted to be a dinosaur hunter!) and we still visit it often. He still loves the same things he did then: Star Trek, pizza, and chocolate milk. Sawyer is like living with a teenager - and I should know: we met 45 years ago in the science-fiction club (which he founded) at Northview Heights Secondary School at Finch and Bathurst.
