A Lady of Means (Roses and Rakes #1)

Lady Moria Pembrooke had a plan to get over her tragic past: 1. Dress to kill at all times. 2. Amass a circle of well-connected friends. 3.

Moria had accomplished the first three on her own…until a chance meeting with a captain with tattooed hands and a gentle soul who sees past her facade to the jaded-but-lovable woman beneath.

Except she’s still her, her schemes are still her schemes, and he has a duty to uphold.

Now he’s back from active duty, and ready to do whatever it takes to win her for good this time before he has to ship out again.

Moria and Devyn’s courtship is further complicated by her family ties, her burn book, and an enticing rival for her hand.

Moria has limited time and infinite choices to make before her window for her redemption closes. Her choices could effect not only her future, but her younger sister’s as well.

Choices which are complicated further by the charming Duke of Andover who offers her security and amiable companionship.

But for the kind of love that withstands time and distance and every flaw, Devyn and Moria find just what sacrifices they’re willing to make.
