AUTHOR NOTE
Welcome to Rakes Beyond Redemption. If this is your first look at the series or your last because youâve been with us the whole way it doesnât matter! Each of the three books stands alone quite well. But why miss one when the series features three sexy men? If youâre just joining us, let me catch you up.
The premise of the series is to explore how three second sons are transformed by family or personal crisis from their fast-living, hard-loving lifestyles to being men who take pride in their families and position in society. Really, the ultimate Regency make-over.
In Book One, HOW TO DISGRACE A LADY, Merrick finds himself at the heart of a wager that compromises the honour of a lady. In Book Two, HOW TO RUIN A REPUTATION, Ashe must rise to the challenge of meeting the conditions of his fatherâs will in order to save the earldom. In Book Three, HOW TO SIN SUCCESSFULLY, Riordan has instant fatherhood thrust upon him when he inherits two young wards.
Enter Maura, governess number six. She enchants both the children ⦠and Riordan! But in order to hold true to her principles Maura knows sheâll have to resist the charming Earlâunless he can convince her one can sin successfully.
Happy reading!
Bronwyn
PS Itâs the gentlemen who get all the action in Rakes Beyond Redemption, but itâs the ladies who set the ton on its ear next, in my forthcoming duet. Stay tuned for more about two women who redefine what it means to be a lady.

Prologue
May 1835, Londonâthe official opening of the Season
Rumour held that Riordan Barrett could bring a woman to climax at fifteen feet using only his eyes. At close range, the possibilities were endless, just like the lush curves of Lady Meachamâs delectable body. Riordan rested a light hand on the small of said ladyâs back, contemplating those possibilities as he ushered her through the throng gathered at Somerset House to mark the beginning of the Season with the annual Royal Academy art exhibition.
Lady Meacham tossed him a coy glance that left no doubt she was thinking the same. He knew what she wanted, what they all wanted; she wanted the rumours to be true. She wanted to experience the pleasure he was reputed to offer. He wanted it, too, wanted to lose himself in it for a little while. He was good at thatâlosing himself in pleasures. Cards, wagering, racing, drinking, the usual vices of a gentlemanâhe knew them all. He was no stranger to the debauches of the demi-monde or the bedchambers of other menâs wives. He and the Lady Meachams of the world both knew why. âPleasureâ was just another word for âescapeâ, a less-desperate word.
Desperate already and the Season had only just begun. When had the glitter of a London spring full of balls and beautiful women lost its shine? Riordan shook off the thought and manoeuvred Lady Meacham in front of Turnerâs latest: a depiction of the burning of the House of Lords and Commons which had taken place last October. If this went well, heâd spend the afternoon immersed in Lady Meachamâs voluptuous charms, sprawled in his bed, forgetting.
