A Rogue, a Ruin, and a Reputation

By Polly Elizabeth

A runaway bride. A notorious rogue. One scandal the ton will never recover from.

Lady Theodosia Fairchild was meant to marry the Duke of Harrow-a man with wealth, power... and the personality of an ice sculpture. Instead, she fled down the church steps in a scandalous gown, carrying nothing but a valise, her late aunt's walking stick, and a very bad plan.

Enter Lord Christopher "Kit" Redgrave: gambler, charmer, and the sort of man mothers warn their daughters about. Kit knows exactly who Theo is-and exactly how much trouble she's in. Which is why, when fate (and a badly timed rainstorm) throws them together, he offers her a bargain: he'll see her safely to her godmother's estate... if she provides him with sufficient "entertainment" along the way.

What follows is a most improper journey involving one bed, a pie-eating contest, bandits, badly played cards, accidental kisses, and the kind of conversations that set reputations ablaze. But with London's gossip hounds on their heels-and Harrow determined to reclaim his bride-Theo and Kit are about to discover that the greatest risk isn't ruin.

It's falling in love.

A Rogue, a Ruin, and a Reputation is a witty, slow-burn Regency romp filled with sharp banter, swoony moments, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. Perfect for fans of clever heroines, charming rogues, and scandals worth talking about.
