No Way But Ruin (The Unruly Grays Book 1) Kindle Edition

Sebastian Gray, Marquess of Westbridge, has everything a gentleman of the ton could want—wealth, looks, charm, and a rakish reputation that keeps mothers hiding their daughters and debutantes swooning. But when his father declares it’s time to settle down with the eminently respectable Lady Elizabeth Montgomery, Sebastian can think of nothing more torturous. Little does he know, fate—and a rather unfortunate incident in a library—have other plans.Clara Tyndale is no stranger to scandal sheets, but she’s always been a footnote rather than the headline. A lover of books and solitude, she’d much rather stay in the countryside, free from the preening and prancing of London society. But after an unexpected tumble from a library ladder lands her quite literally in the arms of the Marquess of Westbridge—and under the watchful eye of the ton’s most infamous gossip—Clara is forced into an engagement with the one man she vowed to avoid.Now Sebastian and Clara must navigate their reluctant engagement amid meddling relatives, scandalous rumors, and the prickling sparks that keep drawing them closer. As they attempt to prove their supposed “romance” is nothing more than an unfortunate necessity, Clara can’t help but notice there’s more to Sebastian than his devilish grin and charming airs. And Sebastian? Well, he’s about to discover that Clara Tyndale is unlike any woman he’s ever met—and she just might be his ruin in all the best ways.With all of London’s high society watching, will Sebastian and Clara find true love, or are they doomed to be London’s most scandalous match of the season? No Way But Ruin is a delightful, witty romp through ballroom intrigue and library mischief where love may be the most scandalous adventure of all. Read more
