Rose and the Rogue

Book excerpt: Is it really so bad to be ruined? When a cruel prank leaves the blind Rosalind Blake ripe for humiliation on a ballroom dance floor, she is rescued by an infamous rogue. Soon the innocent wallflower is seduced by the charm of Adrian Calwell, the scandal-chased Baron of Norbury, who is much more than he seems. Adrian's only goal in rescuing Rose was to thwart another man's heartless trick. But Rose proves to be well worth it, and Adrian is impressed by the unusual young lady. Unfortunately, his reputation as a scoundrel makes it unlikely he’ll never be allowed near her again. Not that Adrian has ever let what’s “allowed” stop him for long. When rumors begin to swirl about Rose’s own reputation and threaten her whole future, Adrian takes matters into his own hands to find the source and defend her honor. It will take all of Adrian's ingenuity and all of Rose’s daring to find the truth and prove to the world that there is a way for a rose and rogue to be together. The Wallflowers of Wildwood series follows five young women as they leave their beloved boarding school and venture out into the cutthroat world of the marriage mart. Get ready, London. These wallflowers are wilder than you think!
