Intriguing!

Tall, Dark and December (Rake Review #12) by Tracy Sumner      

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a delight! Illegitimate half brother to the Duke of Mercer, Weston Whitaker is a mathematical genius and leader in the use of steam power. Not only that he’s as handsome as sin. He’s come from Philadelphia looking for investors in his scheme for minting coins using steam power.

He already had an investor when the offer was withdrawn after he was referred to in the Rakes Review. His acceptance of a  Lady’s invitation to a dalliance had been noted. Wes hadn’t been concerned as the lady wanted nothing more than a good time. However, he’d broken one of the unacknowledged rules of society.

Now he has to be polished and made presentable to the ton.

Who better to do it than Lady Penelope Anstruther-Colbrook who’s making ends meet, barely maintaining her position in society by helping young women to know how to conduct themselves. Penny however has ‘secrets’!

What works for a woman should work for a man. Only Whittaker is all man. Penny’s heart and being acknowledges this at their first meeting .

Wes doesn’t know what’s struck him.

Tall, Dark and December indeed! Both Penny and Wes are going down flaming!
