Every Rake Has A Silver Lining - Trisha Messmer

. .

Résumé :
No woman can resist his charms. Enter the ice queen. 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. 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. 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. But some deals are meant to be broken....
