New This Week: Once a Rake by Rona Sharon

When the Phantom of the Opera Meets Jane Austen...

Once upon a time, The Earl of Ashby was a notoriously handsome libertine, but the war against Napoleon has scarred him. Now, years later, Isabel Aubrey, a proper lady in need of an influential lord to champion her charity, dares to approach the masked reclusive colonel and arouses the dormant desire of London's legendary rake. To keep her - he must seduce her, as only a rake can.

Once a Rake is available now from your favorite bookseller! Visit Rona Sharon.
