The Lady's Rogue

She's too clever to need saving. He's too broken to believe she might choose him.She staged a fake kidnapping. He stopped it with his fists. Nothing about Yara Conrad's mission was supposed to involve a man like him.Reeling from rejection and ready to prove herself, Yara heads to Brighton with her mother, her dog, and a secret courier assignment for the Crown. The last thing she needs is a meddling aristocrat interfering with her plans-especially one nursing guilt and hiding from his own scandal.Alexander von Stein didn't come to Brighton to play the hero. But when he sees Yara in danger, instinct takes over. She didn't need saving, and she certainly doesn't need a charming rogue trailing after her. Still, something about her stubborn courage rattles him-and stirs something deeper.But Yara's assignment soon turns deadly, and Alec finds himself tangled in a web of betrayal, desire, and secrets. Staying close means protecting her. Staying away? Impossible.She's no damsel in distress. He's no knight in shining armor. But together, they might just save each other.✔️ Fake Marriage✔️ English Countryside Road Trip ✔️Grumpy/Sunshine C.K.
