GOODREADS

Notorious rake Marcus Raleigh, Marquess of Ripley, is gracing the gossip pages for a new reason: the rumors he may have murdered his swindling cousin. His quest for answers regarding his cousin’s death leads him to an incomparable self-declared spinster, and he is—for the first time—beguiled beyond reason. Neither is what the other wants, and yet their intense mutual infatuation is inescapable.

After abandoning her philandering betrothed at the altar, Phoebe Lennox fled from London only to return an heiress who refuses to follow the ton’s rules. She won’t risk a relationship of any kind—until she meets the notorious Marquess of Ripley. Swept into his seductive embrace, her resolve falters in the face of a pleasure she never anticipated. But when the truth about Marcus and the murder come to light, Phoebe could lose everything she holds dear, including a love for all time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Since abandoning her betrothed a few days before the wedding Miss Phoebe Lennox is a confirmed spinster.  Luckily for her an aunt left her a very good inheritance so she is independent.  She and her friends style themselves as the "Spitfire Society", young women who prefer lead their lives as they want.  Even so, being seen alone with a known rake would not be good for her reputation.

Marcus Raleigh, the Marquess of Ripley has found out his cousin is defrauding people and it's his responsibility to put it all right.  He just needs to find out all the victims.  

This is a hot historical romance with independent, strong minded characters. We have a murder mystery to solve as well.  

Great fun,  I can't wait to read the next in the series.
