A notorious rake. A bluestocking with bite. The wrong sister he can't resist.
A witty, sensual Regency Romance from Best Selling Author Emma V Leech
Lord Percy Nibley needs a wife -- preferably soon, before his mother's relentless hints drive him to madness. Unfortunately, Percy is far more comfortable cataloguing his rock collection than attempting to flirt, and his courtship efforts are... uninspiring. For a shy Regency hero, romance is far more daunting than geology.

In desperation, he turns to the most dazzling man in London: August Bright, the Baron Marchmain. Charming, witty, and heartbreakingly handsome, August can win over an entire ballroom with a single smile. If anyone can help Percy navigate Regency courtship, it is London's most irresistible rake.

August selects the perfect candidate: Miss Patience Pearson, a sensible, steady bluestocking heroine who is perilously close to the shelf. Meanwhile, he sets his own sights on her lively younger sister, Caroline. But Patience guards her sister like a lioness, and August must deploy every ounce of his devastating charm just to get near her.

Which is when the trouble begins.
Because once Patience finally lowers her defences... August starts to realise he may have chosen the wrong sister entirely. And nothing complicates a Regency romance quite like a rake undone by the woman he never meant to want.

A shy lord, a dazzling rake, a fiercely intelligent heroine, and a courtship gone deliciously awry -- perfect for readers who love historical romance, witty banter, wrong?sister tension, slow?burn attraction, and Regency romantic comedy with heart.

?????Settle back for another great read from Ms Leech!I loved this book. It went in a direction that I didn't expect! I could totally relate to Patience! Tall, not particularly pretty, outspoken, opinated! Loyal to her family! Emma V Leech knocks this out the park. Persuading Patience has become one of my favs in the series Rogues and Gentlemen. I highly recommend this book. Amazon Customer

Warning: This book contains a careful selection of quiet determination, resolute tight-lipped-ness and (almost) insurmountable levels of tension, coupled with the presence of occasionally descriptive sexual encounters.
