"Make Megan Frampton your next read!"--Sarah MacLean, New York
Times bestselling author Megan Frampton's deliciously tempting
School for Scoundrels series continues! Simeon Jones has a
secret--he is soft-hearted. Despite his scandalous exterior, he
will quietly give money to orphans (after all, he was one himself),
animals, and damsels in distress. One such damsel is Lady Myrtle
Allen -- but it's not her funds that are lacking, but rather she
needs to get to London-fast. And so begins a wild adventure. First,
the pair tells all the ton that they are engaged to be wed--how
else to prevent scandal once they are found together--alone! They
plan to carry out this deception, fully knowing that once the
season is over, they will quietly part ways. But then, they
discover that they have most inconveniently fallen in love, which
was definitely not part of their plan! Can this scandalous man and
adventurous woman turn this pretense into reality?
Megan Frampton dazzles in the first book in her new series, A
School for Scoundrels. Five gentlemen with unbreakable bonds
navigate life—and love—in London. Perfect for fans of Sarah
MacLean and anyone who loves BRIDGERTON! To Lady Wilhelmina
Bettesford, the “game” of finding a husband is a competitive
sport she wants no part of…until her much-younger step mama
forces her to play it. So when her stepmother asks sexy barrister
Bram Townsend to pretend to woo the amateur astronomer to boost
Wilhelmina’s popularity, it’s up to Wilhelmina to navigate a
fake courtship that will keep the family from forcing her into a
marriage—any marriage—before she finally receives the
inheritance that will allow her to live as she wants. The trouble
is every time Bram takes her in his arms she has a most difficult
time remembering theirs is an act…the make-believe passion feels
very real indeed. Bram Townsend is a man on the way up: living for
his books and his beliefs. Squiring Lady Wilhelmina through
London’s dusk-to-dawn social whirl is hardly an ordeal—she’s
beautiful, bright, and bold, everything he finds tempting in a
woman. Their deal means he can meet the “best” people while she
keeps her family at bay. The challenge is he quickly finds himself
wanting her to say “yes” when she’s so determined to say
“no.” She persuaded him to make this impetuous bargain, but how
can he convince her to make it real?

bestselling author It's a well-known fact that when a man is in
search of a bride, a good dowry is never a hindrance. Thomas Sharpe
is handsome, well-bred, and desperately in need of a wealthy bride.
His father has lost their income, his sister needs looking after,
and so to save them all from a life of poverty he travels to London
in search of an heiress. Enter Lady Jane Capel. After her fiance
ended their engagement two years ago, Jane boldly left her parents'
home and moved in with her half-brother Percy. What does one more
scandal matter to a family with such a curious reputation? Jane is
independent, but not as well versed in life-and love-as she wants.
The two of them strike a deal: Thomas will show her all there is to
know about the world -and intimacy-and Jane will help him find a
bride. But the more time they spend together and the closer they
get, the two of them soon realize that things aren't so simple when
it comes to men and women...

Mag's Best Romance Novels of 2020! A disinherited duke and a former
lady are courting much more than business in the first novel in
Megan Frampton's newest titillating series, Hazards of Dukes.
Everything he had ever known was a lie... Sebastian, Duke of
Hasford, has a title, wealth, privilege, and plenty of rakish
charm. Until he discovers the only thing that truly belongs to him
is his charm. An accident of birth has turned him into plain Mr. de
Silva. Now, Sebastian is flummoxed as to what to do with his
life-until he stumbles into a gambling den owned by Miss Ivy, a
most fascinating young lady, who hires him on the spot. Working
with a boss has never seemed so enticing. Everything tells her he's
a risk she has to take... Two years ago, Ivy gambled everything
that was precious to her-and won. Now the owner of London's most
intriguing gambling house, Ivy is competent, assured, and measured.
Until she meets Mr. de Silva, who stirs feelings she didn't realize

They vow to keep their partnership strictly business, but just one

The scandalously unmarried Lady Margaret Sawford is looking for

and well beyond any interest in society's expectations, the Duke of
Lasham is tired of being perfect. Margaret's lush beauty and gently
laughing eyes are an irresistible temptation to embrace the
imperfect-and her. But if a little misbehavior is appealing,
unleashing his wild side is completely seductive-as long as the
lovely Margaret is the object of his passion ...
