In USA TODAY bestselling author Eva Leigh’s new novel a notorious rake and an innocent debutante strike a scandalous bargain…
When Kieran Ransome’s latest antics result in a massive scandal, his father issues an ultimatum: find a respectable wife or inherit nothing. But as one of London’s most inveterate scoundrels, Kieran doesn’t know any ladies who fit the bill. Or does he?
Celeste Kilburn is a society darling, beloved by influential members of the ton. But keeping a spotless reputation leaves little room for adventure and she longs to escape her gilded cage, especially with her impending engagement to a stuffy earl. When Kieran—her older brother’s best friend and an irresistibly attractive rogue—begs for her help, Celeste makes a deal: she’ll introduce him to the right social circles if he’ll show her the scandalous side of London.
In between proper teas and garden parties, Kieran escorts Celeste—disguised as “Salome”—to rowdy gaming hells, wild fêtes, and sensual art salons. As they spend more time together, their initial attraction builds to a desperate desire that neither can ignore. But when someone discovers their midnight exploits, Celeste’s freedom and reputation are endangered, and Kieran must save the woman he loves… respectable or not.

Summary
The Good Girls Guide to Rakes by Eva Leigh is the first book in a new series; Last Chance Scoundrels. It has a very interesting opening scene to capture your attention.
Keiran, his brother (Finn) and their best friend Dom are told they have to marry or lose all funds. They are being help accountable for their rakish ways by their parents. And not just marry anyone; they have to marry a good girl. The only good girl Keiran knows is Dom’s sister, Celeste. So he asks for her help to introduce him into polite society as reformed.
Predictably you know they will fall for each other. But the authors is not predictable in how it happens. Celeste is about to be married to someone she does not love to keep her family in good standing. So she wants to really live her life before that happens. And she is going to use Keiran to make that happen.
I felt the ending was very well done. I had no idea what Keiran was going to do.
Definitely looking forward to the next books in the series.
