A Rogue's Scandalous Wish: A Second Chance Redeemable Rogue and Wallflower Regency Romance (The Honorable Rogues® Book 3) Kindle Edition
…an acceptance compelled by desperation.
At the urging of her dying brother, Philomena Pomfrett reluctantly agrees to attend a London Season. If she fails to acquire a husband, her future is perilous. Betrayed once by Bradford, Viscount Kingsley, as well as scarred from a horrific fire, Philomena entertains no notions of a love-match. Hers will be a marriage of convenience. If she can find man who will have her.
When the woman he loves dies, Bradford leaves England and its painful memories behind. After a three-year absence, he returns home but doesn’t recognize his first love when he stumbles upon her hiding in a shadowy arbor during a ball. Something about the mysterious woman enthralls him, and he steals a moonlit kiss. Caught in the act by Philomena’s brother, Bradford is issued an ultimatum—a duel or marry her.
Bradford refuses to duel with a gravely-ill man and offers marriage. But Philomena rejects his half-hearted proposal, convinced he’d grow to despise her when he sees her disfiguring scars. Then her brother collapses, and frantic to provide the medical care he needs, she’s faced with marrying a man who deserted her once already.

From the Author
From the instant I introduced Bradford in A KISS FOR A ROGUE, I realized that one day he'd get his own love story.
Readers adored him and kept asking me about him.
It was time to add another book to The Honorable Rogues series, and naturally, Bradford was my first choice for a hero.
Philomena's character was tricky for me. I lost three family members in two separate house fires within ten months, and with a brother and brother-in-law who are fire chiefs (and a sister who is a fire captain) the whole issue of a heroine scarred by fire became very personal.
I hope you enjoy the telling of their story!
xoxo

From the Back Cover
She stood before him now, so close he could touch her--brush her silky cheek with his thumb or cheek. The graceful curve of her mouth--lips molded for kissing--snared his attention. Her enticing perfume enveloped him once more, demanding he recall where he'd seen--and smelled?--her before.
Blast and damn, why couldn't he remember?
" At odds?" She peered up at him, her gaze unpretentious. "Why?"
Did confusion dance across her features? The pale light filtering through the lattice might have caused the illusion.
He brushed her jaw, the flesh warm and silky, with his knuckles. "You oughtn't to be out here alone. What if an unscrupulous chap came upon you?"
"How do I know you aren't just such a man?" She didn't pull away, though her breaths came quick and shallow, and she swallowed before wetting her lips. Not the reaction of a woman meeting her lover. "Even now, you might harbor dishonorable designs."
His pulse leaped. Oh, he had an idea or two, but he wouldn't call the musings dishonorable, more along the order of improper, sensual imaginings. Not altogether wise, contemplating kissing a nameless woman in an obscure arbor housed in the gardens of his soon-to-be-brother-in-law.
The moisture glistening on her plump and pink lower lip, enticed temptingly.
But, then again, who was he to turn down such an unexpected and precious gem?
Bradford lowered his head a couple of inches, and her sooty eyelashes swooped downward, fanning her cheeks. Hovering over her parted lips, her breath sweet and slightly fruity as if she'd eaten berries, he booted caution aside.
What could one kiss hurt? He had no intention of taking the moment as far as those in the bushes outside. Perhaps if he kissed her, he would finally recall how he knew her.
No, fool. If you'd ever kissed this woman before, you'd not have forgotten.
True. This woman would leave her mark on a man's soul. Savoring the moment, he trailed his tongue along the seam of her mouth, wanting her to experience the same enchantment encompassing him. How easily he could become snared in this temptress's grasp. He nipped the corner of her mouth.
Gathering her into his arms, he pressed his lips to hers. Lust exploded, flooding through his veins and roaring in his ears. Tendrils of want wended around his senses, and he pulled her closer, deepening their kiss and cupping her lush buttocks.
" Pray tell, what the hell do you think you are doing mauling my sister, Kingsley?"

- Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2016Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI enjoyed this book. It was a quick, Sunday afternoon read with a steady plot and likeable characters. I was afraid there was going to be a cliffhanger at the end. Thankfully, there wasn't.
Philomena and her brother, Giles, are in London for the season. Philomena needs to marry before Giles dies. He is gravely ill with scarlet fever and time is of the essence.
This isn't going to be such an easy task, though. Philomena is a burn victim and even though it does not affect her face, she is scarred beneath her clothing. It's left her with a self-esteem problem, making her avoid perspective suitors from the ton. It's okay. They were toads anyway.
At a party, she and Giles decide to go get some air. Giles is sidetracked and Philomena goes outside by herself. She runs into a man who thinks he knows her and, as Bradford Knightely is kissing her, Giles discovers them and wants either satisfaction or marriage.
Bradford knew then that he'd just kissed his long lost love and without a lot of debate, tells Giles he will marry Philomena. Sounds simple enough, right? It isn't. It never is.
The conflict wasn't overbearing in the story, even though it could have been a much longer novel had it been. As mentioned above, I was worried there was going to be a cliffhanger. I guess that could mean the ending was a bit abrupt. I didn't think it was at all. Everything was paced just right.
This was a great way to spend an afternoon.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2016Format: KindleVerified PurchasePhilomena Pomfrett has had a tragic few years. Her parents died in the fire that scarred her body and heart badly, her first love left her after the fire, and her brother is now suffering from a heart ailment that will take him within months. Philomena and her brother only have enough money for one London season, and her brother is determined to see her safe and settled before he passes.
Bradford, Viscount Kingsley, left London seven years ago after he was told his first love and his best friend died in a fire. Returning to England after this long absence, he is thrust into the spotlight that a rich titled bachelor inevitably attracts. While attending a ball, he glimpses a familiar figure across the room. The sweet blonde drew him, even though he'd avoided light haired women for years as they reminded him of his lost love.
Bradford sneaks out of the ball and meets this mysterious blonde in the garden. They both unknowingly make a wish on the same shooting star, and Bradford steals a kiss that is returned with interest. Her brother finds them there in a compromising position (what ISN'T compromising in Regency England?) and demands Bradford duel or marry. Bradford is happy to make the honorable offer, but Philomena is afraid to trust him and leave herself open to abandonment again.
The book is #3 in a series, but is read easily as a stand alone book. I haven't read the previous two and had no trouble, there weren't numerous references to other couples in the series.
This one kept me entertained and happy. It was short and sweet, and even though we didn't spend much time with them, the characters were lovable. I did enjoy the relationship between Philomena and her brother, and think that the book could have been expanded easily to include more of their relationship. I'm giving it three stars because it was an enjoyable read without any editing issues, but probably won't read it again. I would definitely recommend it for someone with a spare hour or two to spend!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2016Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is a very well written novella perfect for those who do not have time to sink into a full length novel but still desire a good plot and enjoyable characters. It is well worth the digital price. The print price seems excessive however for a novella.
How I rate:
1-Could not finish and deleted from my library
2-Did not enjoy reading
3-A solid enjoyable read
4-A wonderful reading experience
5-An outstanding reading experience
- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2016Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI swear Collette Cameron nearly gave me a fit of the vapours with HER SCANDALOUS WISH! Philomena Pomfrett must marry as quickly as possible; her brother Giles has a fragile heart which could give out any day, and they are almost out of funds. Things look grim as Philomena was severely burned in a fire years before, where her parents died. The love of her life, Bradford, now Viscount Kingsley, vanished; she never heard from him, and Philomena’s heart was shattered. And so, trying to choose the less repulsive of her present suitors, who should be attending the Wimpleton’s ball, but Bradford.
This novella is grandiose! The story is extremely complex and fabulously compelling, there are plot twists every few pages, nothing happened the way I expected; at some places, I thought my heart would break. And what about the sumptuous, luminous, exquisite prose! Ms. Cameron is a wordsmith beyond compare! Every word is perfectly chosen, everything absolutely in context, the dialogues are glorious, there are a few quite humorous touches! Sublime!
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

RosewoodReviewed in Canada on February 4, 20175.0 out of 5 stars Emotionally full filling story
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThe emotion in this novella is fully pledged to the plight of the lack of medical knowledge in this era as well as a mean jackass that preferred to kill or hurt people rather than to love and forgive. I loved the brother's intention to take care of his sister and ensure that she would be taken care of after his death - what a beautiful sentiment for a brother to have knowing that he would die soon. The love that Bradford and Philomena was exquisite too. Great novella - beautifully written - great characters.
