Harlots and Rakes: The Complete Compilation

All of the Harlots and Rakes books in one compilation. This compilation includes "The Innocent", "The Pirate", "The Spy" and "Ariadne". Set in the Regency era, the Harlots and Rakes series follows a group of friends as they navigate the intrigues and dangers which beset them during those turbulent times. With America just newly birthed and again plunged into war with its parent country, England, and France trying to devour all of Europe, they are plagued by twisted foes whose hunger for power and revenge will drive them to any lengths to destroy those around them. Flynn Hawthorne, embittered by his whorish first wife, reluctantly falls in love with Carolyn Wentworth and on their wedding night discovers that he has once again married the worst of the lot. Adam MacDonnell, ravaged by grief and guilt over his first wife's suicide, is honor-bound to marry Jenna Calhoun, a marriage prospect that pleases neither of them - until fate tears them apart at the hands of a brutal psychopath. Bruce Ravenhead, disgraced, condemned on the floor of Parliament for his role in a notorious affair, is blinded in war and convinced that he is not fit for any woman to marry, until he meets Gwen Elsinore. But when Gwen's secrets collide with his past, their lives - and love for each other - are at the mercy of a traitorous coward. Ariadne, the most renowned temptress of the ton, cold, cruel, heartless, is found naked and nearly dead on a barren field by gamekeeper, Duncan MacGregor, a man whose past involvement with her will fuel a cataclysmic change in their lives.
