Inkwell Inspirations is happy to be a spotlight stop on the
RAKES AND ROSES Blog Tour:
A standalone
novel in the Mayfield Family series with an unusual premise and an uplifting
ending.
Lady Sabrina endured an abusive marriage, a
miscarriage, and early widowhood to emerge as a smart, successful, confident
woman who found a way to make her mark in a man's world. She has friends and
purpose, but cannot hide from the emptiness she feels when the parties are over
and the friends have gone home to families she will never have.
Harry Stillman may be charming and handsome, but he's a gambler and a rake who has made a mockery of his privileges. He turns to the mysterious Lord Damion for financial relief from his debts, but still ends up beaten nearly senseless by thugs and left in an alley.
When Lady Sabrina comes upon Harry after the attack, she remembers the kindness Harry once showed to her six years ago and brings him to her estate to heal. Though their relationship begins on rocky footing, it soon mellows into friendship, then trust. But Lady Sabrina needs to keep Harry at a distance, even if he is becoming the kind of man worthy of her heart. After all, she is keeping a secret that, if exposed, could destroy everything she's so carefully built.
