Every Rake Has A Silver Lining

<h4>No woman can resist his charms. Enter the ice queen.</h4><p><br></p><p>Experience has taught Simon Beckham that love only leads to grief. Although he needs to marry someday and produce an heir for now he prefers a fun dalliance. A smile a wink a pretty compliment and women tumble into his bed willingly-except for one irritatingly attractive sharp-tongued harpy.</p><p><br></p><p>Lady Charlotte Talbot does not suffer fools particularly the buffoon Simon Beckham with his handsome face and roguish grin. The man doesn't have a serious bone in his all-too-tempting body. Although she has no intention of being leg-shackled to any man when her brother attempts to foist an arranged marriage on her-to an abusive suitor no less-even that incorrigible rake Simon seems preferable.</p><p><br></p><p>After the two are discovered in a compromising situation they strike an agreement. A marriage of convenience saving Charlotte's reputation in exchange for providing Simon an heir. Love isn't part of the bargain.</p><p><br></p><p>But some deals are meant to be broken.</p>
