A Rogue, a Ruin, and a Reputation
(2025)(A book in the Polly Elizabeth's Regency Hearts Collection series)
A Story by Polly Elizabeth
A runaway bride. A notorious rogue. One scandal the ton will never recover from.
Lady Theodosia Fairchild was meant to marry the Duke of Harrow—a man with wealth, power… and the personality of an ice sculpture. Instead, she fled down the church steps in a scandalous gown, carrying nothing but a valise, her late aunt’s walking stick, and a very bad plan.
Enter Lord Christopher ‘Kit’ Redgrave: gambler, charmer, and the sort of man mothers warn their daughters about. Kit knows exactly who Theo is—and exactly how much trouble she’s in. Which is why, when fate (and a badly timed rainstorm) throws them together, he offers her a bargain: he’ll see her safely to her godmother''s estate… if she provides him with sufficient ‘entertainment’ along the way.
What follows is a most improper journey involving one bed, a pie-eating contest, bandits, badly played cards, accidental kisses, and the kind of conversations that set reputations ablaze. But with London’s gossip hounds on their heels—and Harrow determined to reclaim his bride—Theo and Kit are about to discover that the greatest risk isn’t ruin.
It’s falling in love.
A Rogue, a Ruin, and a Reputation is a witty, slow-burn Regency romp filled with sharp banter, swoony moments, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. Perfect for fans of clever heroines, charming rogues, and scandals worth talking about.
Genre: Historical Romance
