It has been said that rakes often make the very best husbands, but Miss Claire Preston disagrees with the sentiment wholeheartedly.
If there was something more embarrassing than being thrust on the marriage market at the spinster-worthy age of twenty-six, Claire had yet to experience it. But needs must–and Claire needs a husband. She has a very specific kind of man in mind–boring, bookish, hopefully chaste. She’s witnessed first-hand the damage a rake can do, and she has no intention of falling prey to one of them.
The only problem is she doesn’t know the private reputation of every man she meets.

Enter her childhood friend, Lord Rutheridge. Being a rake of the first order himself, he can spot a poor choice at twenty paces. Besides, he owes her for what happened four years ago.
But with Michael at her elbow at every ball and dinner party, pointing out who fits her strict parameters and who she should stay well clear of, soon Claire is in danger of the most imprudent thing of all: falling in love.
