Samenvatting:

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.

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 supervisor arrives, and Geny dares to hope she has met someone different.

As John and Geny grow closer, desire sparks and 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.

* Perfect for fans of clean Regency romance which features reformed rakes—and for those who delight in the slow burn romance of forbidden love and hidden identities.
