Mr. Jordan Trent, the spare, was raised to be a rake. Not only did his father encourage his roguish life, but insisted that Jordan do nothing except enjoy the life of women, gambling and fine brandy – the life his father had wanted. It is a life Jordan enjoyed until he realized something, or someone, very important was missing.
Miss Audrey Montgomery had been warned to avoid rakes like
Jordan Trent but fell under his spell like so many ladies before her. She should have known better and vows to
protect her heart whenever he is near. If only his kisses weren’t so delicious
it would be so much easier.
A Reluctant Rake is the fifth Tenacious Trent Story. If you wish to catch up on the family, the stories appear in the following order:
