Publisher Description
In USA TODAY bestselling author Eva Leigh's final Last Chance Scoundrels novel, a young lady and her former betrothed get a second chance at love when they’re stranded at a remote country house…
After Dominic Kilburn left Lady Willa Ransom at the altar, she vowed never to reveal how badly she was hurt. Following a year abroad, Willa wants to move on with her life, so she accepts an invitation to a house party. She's determined to leave her humiliation behind, as well as the scorching attraction she still feels for the man who jilted her.
When dark secrets from his past surfaced right before his wedding, Dom knew he didn’t deserve Willa. So, he bolted. But he still burns for the only woman who ever claimed his heart. To escape the memories of all he lost, Dom heads to a friend’s estate on an isolated Scottish isle. Yet one of the other guests is the very woman who haunts his every thought and makes him wish for the impossible.
Thrown together by well-meaning family and friends, Willa and Dom try to resist the fiery pull between them. Soon the line between love and loathing begins to blur, and their attraction explodes. But Dom’s past lurks on the edge of their rekindled passion and Willa fears she’ll be devastated all over again. Can these star-crossed lovers find their happily ever after, or will everything detonate a second time?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A rowdy weeklong house party is the backdrop for the reunion between a headstrong lady and the surly Scotsman who jilted her at the altar in Leigh's steamy third Last Chance Scoundrels Regency romance (after How the Wallflower Was Won). Willa Ransome vowed never to speak to her ex-fiancé, Dominic Kilburn, again, so she's furious when her meddlesome brothers orchestrate a reunion by inviting them both to the same party. Dominic is wracked with guilt over leaving Willa but believes she would have hated him even more if she learned the truth of his checkered past. They initially tiptoe around each other, but soon their lingering desire and longing gives way to spicy sex scenes with a BDSM edge. Leigh has a real gift for sensual moments ("Let me bide awhile with you like this," he said, his voice gruff. "If I am what you desire, then use me as it pleases you."), making the connection between her leads palpable even as lingering secrets and distrust threaten to tear them apart. This second-chance love story will leave readers breathless.
Customer Reviews
Funny forced proximity
There are many fish in the sea however Lady Willa Ransome and Dominic Kilburn have already been caught in “A Rogue’s Rules for Seduction” by Eva Leigh!!
Who needs a meddling mama when you have meddling family and friends? What is funnier than the forced proximity is the inability escape extraordinaire Willa to actually escape. Plus, fate brings Willa and Dom at the right place at the right time when they are at their most vulnerable creating emotional scenes.
This second chance romance is beautiful! There is complexity with their different social backgrounds yet both are privileged. There is growth and their personalities bring balance as a couple, and their coupling is hawt!!
This book is utterly satisfactory!! We finally know why Dom walked away and more of what Willa was doing while apart. The strong willed individuals finally have their sweet happily ever after!!
If you love beautiful declarations of devotion, then I highly recommend this book!!
Thank you to Net Galley, Avon, and Harper Voyager US for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.
