Description: No hero is more appealing than a Regency rake, as he cuts a swath through the ton with his wicked, wicked ways. Now, six acclaimed authors of outstanding Regency fiction bring us a collection of stories featuring outrageous aristocrats who may not be gentlemen -- but are the lovers we dream about. You'll meet Donna Bell's ever-so-eligible Viscount Blackwell, who arranges his sisters' marriages while cleverly managing to avoid his own... Julie Caille's handsome Leighton Raikes, who abducts his enemy's fiancée -- and becomes a prisoner of revenge and love... Cathleen Clare's layabout Lord Fairleigh, whose troubles begin when a reforming miss decides to transform him into a hero... Monique Ellis's infamous Richard Hawks, who agrees to teach an innocent young woman the delicate art of rakehood... Valerie King's seductive cardsharp Gabriel Shaw, who wins a reluctant lady and an opportunity for love in an unusual game of chance... and Isobel Linton's Viscount Daltrey, a rakehell bachelor who rescues a lady in distress -- only to endanger his heart and life. Full of scandal, intrigue and passion, here are the sinful, sensual men of the beau monde at their most risqué... and passionately romantic!
