A Lady's Prerogative

Summary

It's not fair. Rakes are almost always given the benefit of the doubt, but debutantes who take the slightest misstep get sent to the country, which is where Lady Natalie Spencer is stuck after jilting her betrothed one week before the wedding. Frustrated with her banishment, in spite of trying to be a good girl all the time, she's ready and willing to take a few chances with her reputation.

Luckily she has brothers and even luckier, one of them has brought home a friend, known rake and libertine, Garrett Castleton. Recently coming into his title as the new Earl of Hawthorne, Garrett is determined to turn over a new leaf. A break from the ton is exactly what he needs while setting his resolve to give up the roguish lifestyle he had adopted years ago.

In other words, he wants to be good and she wants to be bad. Will either of them succeed?

Sparks fly as they both war with society's strict standards and their growing attraction to each other. Can love work out a compromise between the two, or will their stubbornness get them into even more trouble?
