Includes an exclusive bonus short story! The first book in the new series Desperately Seeking Duke from USA Today bestselling and RITA award-winning author Caroline Linden. It’s no love match… Bianca Tate is horrified when her sister Cathy is obliged to accept an offer of marriage from Maximilian St. James, notorious rake. Defiantly she helps Cathy elope with her true love, and takes her sister’s place at the altar. It’s not even the match that was made… Perched on the lowest branch of his family tree, Max has relied on charm and cunning to survive. But an unexpected stroke of luck gives him an outside chance at a dukedom—and which Tate sister he weds hardly seems to matter. But could it be the perfect match? Married or not, Bianca is determined to protect her family’s prosperous ceramics business, even when Max shows an affinity for it—not to mention a dangerous ability to intrigue and tempt Bianca herself. And when Max realizes how beautiful and intelligent and desirable Bianca is, he’ll have to prove he’s no rogue, but the passionately devoted husband she craves…

About a Rogue is a fun Georgian Era romance that is unique for focusing on the upper-middle-class and having a hero I liked more than the heroine.

So cute. I need to read more Caroline Linden, because I really enjoy her characters. Also, I have realised that I like reading historical romances where the formerly indolent hero becomes a man who is dedicated to his work. I think this may be because one of my first historical romances was [b:Devil in Winter 114166 Devil in Winter (Wallflowers, #3) Lisa Kleypas https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1309220205l/114166.SY75.jpg 1823830], in which St.Vincent follows the path from rake to prosperous business owner. ALthough it is interesting to consider that both these heroes grew in part because they inherited businesses that their wives father's had built and which then became theirs after marriage.
