The Rake's Redemption

An Enemies to Lovers Marriage of Convenience Regency Romance

A marriage of convenience. A partnership built on terms. A love that breaks every rule.

Lady Amelia Fairfax is one step away from the workhouse. With her family’s ruin imminent and her father facing debtor’s prison, she has only one asset left: her hand in marriage. When the enigmatic Lord Sebastian Blackwood—a man whose reputation is as shadowed as his ancestral estate—offers a shocking proposal, Amelia doesn’t just accept.

She negotiates. Amelia isn’t looking for a savior; she’s securing a future. Her terms are non-negotiable: equal partnership, financial authority, and a seat at the table.

Sebastian Blackwood doesn't want a social ornament; he wants an ally. To secure his inheritance from a predatory uncle, he needs more than a veneer of respectability—he needs a woman brave enough to help him face the literal and figurative ghosts of Blackwood Manor. Behind his guarded facade lies a man haunted by a brutal childhood, terrified that the cruelty he survived is the same blood running through his veins.

The rules were simple: A shared name. A calculated bargain. No feelings allowed.

But as Amelia peels back the iron walls around Sebastian’s heart, she discovers that their "arrangement" is the most dangerous game they’ve ever played. As an enemy circles and the secrets of the past begin to scream, they must decide: Is their marriage a cage to escape, or the only sanctuary they've ever known?

Perfect for fans of Mary Balogh and Sarah MacLean, The Rake’s Redemption is a steamy, emotional Regency romance about the courage to heal and the transformative power of a love that refuses to surrender to fear.
