<p><b><i>Beauty and the Beast</i> meets <i>Taming of the Shrew</i> in this laugh-out-loud and heartfelt Regency romance.</b><br><br>Lord Nathaniel Harte, the disagreeable Duke of Beswick, spends his days smashing porcelain, antagonizing his servants, and snarling at anyone who gets too close. With a ruined face like his, it's hard to like much about the world. <i>Especially</i> smart-mouthed harpies—with lips better suited to kissing than speaking—who brave his castle with indecent proposals. <br><br>But Lady Astrid Everleigh will stop at nothing to see her younger sister safe from a notorious scoundrel, even if it means offering herself up on a silver platter to the forbidding Beast of Beswick himself. And by offer, she means what no highborn lady of sound and sensible mind would ever dream of—a tender of marriage with <i>her</i> as his bride.<br><br>Each book in the Regency Rogues series is STANDALONE:<br>* The Beast of Beswick <br>* The Rakehell of Roth</p> Read Less
