Notorious Duke

This historical regency novella is “an entertaining yarn starring . . . a notorious rake who is challenged to find a woman immune to his charms” (Publishers Weekly).

Pagan Penhurst finds himself at a loose end in Brighton, until a friend wagers he can find a woman who can’t be swayed by Pagan’s notorious charms.

The duke accepts—only to find that his quarry is to be Scholastica Hornsby, a young innocent who wants nothing to do with the infamous rake! She’s far too inexperienced for his usual methods of seduction, but Pagan is determined to win his wager . . .
