A marriage of convenience. A reckless marquess. A love worth every risk. Lady Bridget Riddle has never been one for grand adventures. Fiercely loyal and quietly brave, she dreams only of peace at Ivy Cottage-the home tied to her happiest memories. But when her late father's will demands marriage to claim it, Bridget faces the unthinkable: wedding the man whose charm she mistrusts almost as much as the way he makes her heart race. Marcius, Marquess of Heathfield, has lived his life by impulse and wit. Yet when he learns that marrying Bridget is the key to his inheritance, he accepts without hesitation-not for the house, but for the woman who has captured his every thought. Winning her heart, however, may prove far more difficult than claiming Ivy Cottage. As secrets about Bridget's family come to light, their fragile union is tested by danger, deception, and desire. Bound by duty but drawn by something deeper, Bridget and Marcius must decide whether love is a gamble worth taking-or a lesson they will never forget. Lady Bridget's Wayward Rake is a sweet, slow-burn Regency romance filled with heart, intrigue, and the courage to follow one's heart against all odds.
