Romancing The Rake (Brotherhood 0f The Black Tartan Book 2)

Lady Sophronia Sorrow considers herself an unlikely heroine. Why, just
her name alone proves this. Sophronia Sorrow sounds like a girl from a
gothic penny novel - the foolish miss who falls prey to a rake and
becomes an object lesson for the true heroine to avoid. No, despite her
mawkish name, Sophie refuses to spend her life invisible and unwanted,
relegated to the margin of the text. Despite her eccentric, bluestocking
ways, there must be a place where she is wanted. If only she could
uncover the identity of her natural father, perhaps she would belong
there?But one thing Sophie knows for sure - unlike that foolhardy miss
in a novel, she will not succumb to a rake. No matter how thoroughly the
rakish Lord Rafe Gilbert may tempt her.Lord Rafe Gilbert longs for
freedom - freedom from his controlling father, freedom to live his life
as he chooses. He knows playing the rake keeps his autocratic father in
check, but Rafe longs to determine his own destiny. Case in point, he
fell in love with Lady Sophie years ago, but his father's threats and
his mother's health prevent him from pursuing Lady Sophie in earnest. So
when Fate thrusts Sophie into his path, Rafe knows he must turn her
away and distance himself. But doing the right thing has never been so
impossibly difficult.Sophie and Rafe soon find themselves on a journey
together from London to a castle in the Scottish Highlands. Along the
way, can two kindred souls heal from past hurts and seize a second
chance to write a love story of their own?
