    About this ebook

    Breeding for dowry was never really his thing...

    Lord Adam Sonhurst, the seventh Marquess of Norfolk, is notorious for his rakish character. He has no intention of settling down any time soon. In fact, he would prefer downing a glass of poison than getting married. And he firmly believes that love is a dangerous notion that incapacitates a person’s logical reasoning power. His father once fell in love with his mother and he had seen how that love had ruined him!

    But his mother wants him to produce an heir soon to carry on the family legacy. She has chosen for him a lady of impeccable breeding who would also bring a sizeable dowry. As much as he loathes his mother, Adam knows that she is right. But he refuses to marry the girl of her choice.

    When circumstances force him to get married to that very girl, he vows to make life hell for her!

    ★★★★★
    "POWERFUL! Rose Haven creates an intensely romantic world for young and old alike. A place where there is darkness and light, love and hope, and if you dare to go there you will never want to leave."

      Horrible, rushed story line. Feels as if a teenager wrote this. I could not get past the 2nd chapter.

    Regency Romance: The Heartless Rake

    Chapter One

    "There you are! Where have you been all day? Lady Elizabeth Sonhurst, the Marchioness of Norfolk asked her only son, Lord Adam Sonhurst. I’ve been waiting for you the entire afternoon."

    Good evening to you too, Mother said Lord Sonhurst in an agitated tone. He had spent the entire day looking into the matters of the estate and was too tired to pretend to be happy about his mother visiting him. When did you get back from Essex?

    I returned this morning and decided to pay you a visit. And I am not going to waste your time and my time in exchanging pleasantries. I am sure you know the reason behind my visit.

    Like Hell, I do! muttered Adam.

    I’ve raised you better than this Lord Sonhurst! Swearing in front of a lady is as improper as it gets! shouted Lady Sonhurst.

    Thanks for reminding me that YOU’VE raised me. Because all I can remember is Mrs. Hopkins waking me up, helping me get ready, cuddling me when I got scared at night, singing lullabies to me when I couldn’t go to sleep… Adam replied bitterly.

    Lady Eleanor Rothert is the perfect match for you. Her father is the famous Earl of Dunkirk and being the only daughter, she’ll bring a sizeable dowry too. Besides, she is extremely pleasant to look at and will make a perfect Marchioness. By now you should be thinking of settling down and producing an heir. It is your duty towards your family and the estate. And it is high time you realize your responsibilities. Lady Sonhurst continued, completely ignoring what her son had just said.

    His mother
