Coming on April 27
Gwen Maudsley is pretty enough to be popular, and plenty wealthy, too. But what she’s best loved for is being so very, very nice. When a cad jilts her at the altar—again—an outraged London bays for blood. Only Gwen has a different plan. If nice no longer works for her, then it’s time to learn to be naughty. Happily, she knows the perfect tutor—Alexander Ramsey, her late brother’s best friend and a notorious rogue. So why won't the scoundrel let her be as bad as she wants to be...?All About Romance calls Wicked Becomes You “the book to beat for best historical romance this year... Sexy, inventive, and riveting, it’s a book that’s hard to put down and a joy to read.” Romantic Times Magazine declares Wicked a Top Pick for readers in May: “So much fun...charming and deliciously sensual from beginning to end.” Gwen’s reluctant hero, Alex Ramsey, also wins RT’s much-coveted KISS Award! And from Library Journal: “Witty, often hilarious, sensuous, and breathlessly paced, Duran's engaging, mystery-enhanced escapade sweeps its charmingly matched protagonists across the continent, in and out of danger, and eventually into each other's arms.”
