Rules of Scoundrels

Sarah MacLean

A decade after being cast out of society, the Marquess of Bourne has returned, a ruthless force in London's underworld determined to reclaim his lost inheritance. His path to redemption lies in marrying the impeccably proper Lady Penelope Marbury, a woman who has all but given up on finding a suitable match. Yet, Penelope yearns for more than a quiet life, and her new husband's scandalous world offers an unexpected, thrilling escape. As Bourne navigates the dangerous games of his past, he finds himself captivated by Penelope's burgeoning desires, leading them both into uncharted territory where the stakes are higher than either could have imagined.
