"Delightful, outrageous Regency."

Rein Montgomery, the Duke of Wroxly, must prove his worth by living on his own for one month, without the aid of friends or family or his own personal wealth. Only if he succeeds in this endeavor will he be allowed to inherit his uncle's vast fortune.

It's in the rough district of St. Giles that Rein meets his match, the amazing Anna Rose Brooks. Rein's ability to charm the ladies has never failed him anywhere, anytime. Anna offers him shelter for one night, but Rein wants 30 nights. Is this dashing stranger a rogue, a rake, a rascal or a gentleman?

Anna is no fool. Rein finds her lovely and intelligent, witty and courageous. He's always taken pleasure wherever he wanted, never considering the welfare of others, until he met "his Anna." The dashing Rein is Anna's knight in shining armor. As their friendship grows, so does their love for each other. They're both survivors, this strong and glorious couple. He's from the ton; she's a poor girl who knows the score. Anna finally gives in to scandal by agreeing to become Rein's mistress.

Ms. Britton has gifted us with an outrageously captivating story that will steal your heart. The British slang is a riot, along with a treasure trove of unique and wonderful secondary characters. SCANDAL makes you sigh and cry and smile for a mile. It's a breath of fresh air, a dazzling delight, an escape into your heart not be missed.

When Reinleigh Drummond, the sixth earl of Sherborne, becomes the heir to his uncle, the duke of Wroxford, Rein's life becomes a living misery. His uncle decides that Rein must first prove he is worth his inheritance by living for one month without aid from friends or family, and without telling a single soul of his plight. He must live by his wits alone, otherwise he will not see a cent. As good luck, or bad luck, would have it, Rein is literally knocked over the head by a young woman named Anna Brooks, an aspiring inventor. Feeling badly that she harmed him, Anna offers to help repay him. And Rein sees a possible way out of his month of need...but doesn't expect to find love in the process.
