The Bourne Matrimonial Agency has one rule: Under no circumstances fall deeply in love with the client. However, they never said anything about kissing a rake…

Briar Bourne’s matchmaking career could possibly be summed up in two words-comic disaster. Unless she can learn about the amazing forces that draw women and men jointly, her professional future looks rather bleak. But Briar comes with an interesting plan-enlisting London’s most irredeemable rake to instruct her everything he knows about attraction. Provided his notorious about Ten Kisses to Scandal status, it’s no surprise that Nicholas Blacklowe, the Earl of Edgemont, demands one thing in exchange for his tutelage. For every lesson, he wants a kiss in exchange. And what harm could there be in a simple kiss? After all, Briar would never fall for a scoundrel…

Nicholas has no romantic notions about like, and no intention of changing his ways. He’s only assisting Briar so that she will get the perfect bride-to-be for his jilted cousin. Yet Briar is so clever, so wondering, therefore candid-so blasted tempting-that soon, Nicholas can’t end wondering what it might be like if he was irresistible to her.

10 lessons. Ten kisses. And a million methods to fall hopelessly, scandalously in love.
