The Week the Wallflower Was Wanton by Eva Devon

In this wild and witty series the wallflower always wins… The rakes, rogues, and dukes won’t know what’s hit them…

Lucy McTavish dreams of being an artist. But being a wallflower, she’s firmly on the shelf and destined for an arranged marriage with a dour, strict husband in the wilds of Scotland. Determined to keep her dreams or not spend the rest of her life living without a jot of of artistic possibility or excitement, there’s only one thing to do. Choose ruin. After all, no man would marry her then! And once ruined, nothing will stop her from pursuing her dreams of becoming one of the greatest painters England has ever known. Surely, Viscount North, rake of rakes, is the man for the job. But she never expects to have her heart stolen just as much as her breath when he sweeps her into his sinful world.

Viscounty North lives life to the full. After all, he knows how quickly it can end. Losing his entire family in a tragic accident as a child, he is determined to never know loss or such agony again. Every day is driven by enjoyment and appreciation for beauty and life. When the pert yet surprising Lucy arrives at one of his parties demanding ruin, he knows he should say no. Unmarried young ladies are not his line. But her passion to pursue her freedom and something about her has him falling under her spell. Once he agrees to her request, he will stop at nothing to make her dreams come true. There’s just one thing. He’s vowed they have only one week to be wanton. But when the time comes… Can he let her go when his traitorous heart longs for her to stay?
