<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>It's a well-known rule that a proper young lady should never steal into the home of a notorious marquess and demand a passionate kiss. But to romance this rake, Lady Calpurnia Hartwell will break "all" the rules. Original.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>A lady does not smoke cheroot. She does not ride astride. She does not fence or attend duels. She does not fire a pistol, and she never gambles at a gentlemen's club.</p><p>Lady Calpurnia Hartwell has always followed the rules, rules that have left her unmarried--and more than a little unsatisfied. And so she's vowed to break the rules and live the life of pleasure she's been missing.</p><p>But to dance every dance, to steal a midnight kiss--to do those things, Callie will need a willing partner. Someone who knows everything about rule-breaking. Someone like Gabriel St. John, the Marquess of Ralston--charming and devastatingly handsome, his wicked reputation matched only by his sinful smile. </p><p>If she's not careful, she'll break the most important rule of all--the one that says that pleasure-seekers should never fall hopelessly, desperately in love . . .</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"MacLean's devilishly fun debut novel is an absolute delight: rich in supple wit, suffused with sensuality, and enlivened with a wonderfully engaging cast of characters." --<em>Booklist </em>(starred review) on <strong><em>Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake</em></strong><br><br>"The nineteenth-century clothes are luscious, the twenty-first sensibility is raunchy, and it's all implausible, escapist fun."--<em>Publishers Weekly </em>on <em>Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake</em><br><br>Sarah MacLean reinvents the historical romance for the modern reader.
