How to Ruin a Rogue
(2025)(A book in the Polly Elizabeth's Regency Hearts Collection series)
A Story by Polly Elizabeth
He’s the rake she swore to avoid. She’s the lady he never meant to notice.
Miss Charlotte Fairfax has one mission at this summer’s country house party—find a respectable husband with a title and a fortune. Lord Sebastian Rathbourne? Absolutely not. The scandalous rogue is handsome, infuriating, and exactly the sort of man who could ruin her prospects—and her good name.
Sebastian has survived three London seasons by dodging matchmaking mamas, and he intends to do the same in the country. But when he and Charlotte are thrown together—at dinner tables, in scandalous party games, and (most memorably) in a hedge—his plans for a peaceful month unravel.
A fake courtship to save her reputation soon turns into something dangerously real. Between whispered gossip, stolen kisses, and late-night walks that feel far too much like wooing, Charlotte realises she may have miscalculated badly. Because it’s not her reputation Sebastian is threatening—it’s her heart.
How to Ruin a Rogue is a witty, slow-burn Regency romance full of banter, scandal, and an enemies-to-lovers match you’ll be rooting for. Perfect for fans of Julia Quinn, Martha Waters, and Tessa Dare.
Fall into the hedge. Stay for the happily ever after.
Genre: Historical Romance
