📜 A List of Rules. A Daring Spinster. A Rake Who Meets His Match.
What’s a proper lady to do when she realizes that being good has gotten her absolutely nowhere?
In Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake by Sarah MacLean, Lady Calpurnia Hartwell has spent her entire life following society's tedious rules. The reward for her flawless behavior? She’s twenty-eight, firmly labeled a spinster, and thoroughly bored. Deciding she’s done waiting around for life to happen, Callie writes a secret list of all the scandalous things she wants to experience—from smoking a cigar to fencing, drinking in a tavern, and... kissing a rake.
The Accomplice? Gabriel St. John, the Marquess of Ralston. He is London’s most devastatingly handsome, utterly unrepentant rake, and he happens to be the perfect man to help Callie cross off her most scandalous desires.
The Bargain? Through a brilliant stroke of blackmail, Callie convinces Gabriel to assist her in her late-night escapades, leading to a series of hilarious, rule-breaking adventures across London.
The Problem? Gabriel is used to easy conquests, but Callie’s sharp wit, hidden bravery, and absolute refusal to be just another notch on his bedpost leave him completely bewildered—and utterly enchanted.
Before long, Callie’s list leads to a scandal that could ruin them both, and Gabriel must decide if he’s ready to break his own ultimate rule: never fall in love.
Perfect for fans of: Bridgerton, rebellious heroines, grumpy-meets-sunshine, and heroes who fall absolutely head-over-heels for the girl everyone else overlooked.
📚 Why your bookshelf needs this:
The ultimate feminist historical romance masterpiece. It is laugh-out-loud funny, deeply empowering, incredibly spicy, and a beautiful reminder that the best things in life happen when you throw the rulebook out the window.
