(Previously published as Invitation To Ruin - winner of the RomCom Readers Crown in 2012) One Good Lady Is About to Go Bad… The only thing Miss Melissa Goodly has ever wanted out of a marriage is love.

For when they are discovered in a position as compromising as it is pleasurable, she has no choice but to accept his proposal. Avowed bachelor Antony Craven, Earl of Wickham, never meant to seduce an innocent like Melissa. Yet now that the damage is done, it does seem like she’d make a very convenient wife. After all, she is so naive he won’t have to worry about ever being tempted. Or so he thinks, until the vows are spoken and they are left alone–and his new bride reveals a streak just as brazen and unrestrained as his own… Warning: A sexy Regency read with a little darker feel, dealing with the English 1807 Anti-Slave Trading Act.
