A Gentleman's Reckoning

<p><strong>A Scandalous Past. A Secret Identity. A Love That Could Ruin Everything.</strong></p><p></p><p>Once the most charming rake in London John Aubin lost everything when he overheard a powerful earl's fraudulent dealings. Branded a liar and cast out of society he now lives under an assumed name working in the very orphanage the earl owns. But Aubin's purpose isn't charity-it's revenge. Sober and focused for the first time in his life he plans to expose the earl's corruption and reclaim his good name. Nothing will stand in his way-until he meets her.</p><p></p><p>Lady Eugenia Stanich has never truly known a father's love. The Earl of Goodwin may be a revered figure in society but to Geny he is a distant shadow more invested in power than in family. The Foundling Asylum that bears her father's name is the one place where Geny feels a connection to the mother she lost years ago. If she marries it would be to a man who shares her devotion to the children but London's gentlemen see charity as a pastime not a calling. Then the new steward arrives and Geny dares to hope she has met someone different.</p><p></p><p>As John and Geny grow closer desire sparks as their hearts entwine but the truth looms between them. If Lady Eugenia discovers that John is not who he claims to be-and worse that he is using the asylum to destroy her father-he will lose more than his chance at redemption. He will lose the only woman who has ever inspired him to be a better man.</p>
