The Rake by L.J. Shen, Maxine Mitchell, Joe Arden
Boston's most infamous femme fatale meets her match in a dangerously mild Englishman who has vowed to never marry in this romantic stand-alone from Washington Post best-selling author L.J. Shen 

Emmabelle Penrose has cruised through life never needing a man, a plan that has worked stunningly well until about five minutes ago, when she decided she must have a baby. 

Devon Whitehall is 6'2” of premium DNA, financial security, and British royal titles. Best of all, he fears the one thing she dreads the most: getting hitched. 

Emmabelle figures it's a no-brainer when Devon offers his services - sperm and involvement in her future child's life. 

What begins as an innocent modern-family arrangement quickly erodes into a web of lies, dark pasts, and unfurled secrets. 

Inside this chaos, Emmabelle and Devon are forced to face the awful truth - they are capable of love. 

Even worse, they might feel it toward each other.
