Lady Tempts a Rogue: A Romantic Class Difference Forced Proximity Regency Romance with Aristocrats (Secrets of Scandalous Ladies Book 6) Kindle Edition
A rake’s flight…
Devin Everingham is notorious for two things: his devil-may-care charm and his steadfast refusal to marry. But when his formidable mother issues an ultimatum—find a wife or lose his inheritance—Devin does what any self-respecting rogue would do: he vanishes. Crossing continents to escape the altar, he plans to return only when the scandal has cooled. What he doesn’t plan for is the captivating woman who barrels into his life, bringing chaos, complications… and temptation.
A spinster’s plight…
Trinity Ablethorne has given up on the fantasies of romance and grand passion. A confirmed spinster with a taste for adventure, she’s more at home trekking foreign lands than curtsying in drawing rooms. But when a string of misfortunes leaves her stranded in a dangerous, plague-stricken country, she’s left with one impossible option: a marriage of convenience to the infuriatingly handsome rake who seems as wary of love as she is.
A union forged in desperation…
What begins as a convenient solution spirals into something neither of them can control. With every stolen glance, every searing kiss, Devin and Trinity edge closer to surrendering their hearts. But old secrets and hidden dangers threaten to tear them apart before they can even begin.
Can a rogue with no intention of settling down and a woman who’s vowed to remain untethered find the courage to risk everything for a love they never sought?

From the Author
Lady Tempts a Rogue brings the Secrets of Scandalous Ladies series to a close, and while I'm always a bit sad to say goodbye, I'm also thrilled to send it off with a tale full of heart, humor, and high adventure.
This Regency romance departs from my typical land-based settings and sets sail aboard the Daunting Duchess, where Trinity Ablethorne and Devin Everingham cross paths under very unusual—and rather inconvenient—circumstances. She's determined, optimistic, and endlessly curious. He's a reluctant heir, a partial ship owner, and a man with a past he'd rather leave behind.
Devin has a well-earned reputation as a rogue, but there's far more to him than meets the eye. As the journey progresses, so does his transformation—and Trinity plays no small part in helping him rediscover the kind of man he truly is. Their story is one of rescue, reinvention, and realizing that sometimes fate knows exactly what it's doing.
I conducted a great deal of research for this book, and you'll find little details tucked throughout the voyage—from nautical customs to class expectations and the ways family legacies shape our decisions, for better or worse.
Thank you for joining me for all six books in this series. If Trinity and Devin's story leaves you smiling—and maybe a little misty-eyed—I've done my job.

From the Back Cover
After having spent several years traveling with Mrs. Westcott, I vowed I would remain in England thereafter. Convinced that I had seen and experienced all that any soul could desire, I was committed to putting down roots and settling into a comfortable, predictable life.
And yet, within a few short months in my most recent position as a companion to an elderly dame who was content to stay home except for attending church, I became so restless, bored, and malcontented that I leaped—yes, very nearly leaped about, clapping my hands, and giggling as if I was queer in the attic—when the opportunity presented itself to travel once again.
Tomorrow night, I set sail for the Mediterranean as a companion to Mrs. Eustacia Peagilly. I do not know when I shall return to England, but I promise to write as I have always done. Do remember me in your prayers, for Mrs. Peagilly, despite her advanced years, is a bold adventurer at heart, and I expect many exciting challenges in the months ahead.
~Miss Trinity Ablethorne, in a letter to her girlhood friend, Mrs. Purity Mayfield-Rutland
19 October 1818
Daunting Duchess's foredeck
Ten minutes past nine P.M.
Here I go again, off to who knows where and for God only knows how long.
The tiniest pang of regret tightened Trinity's throat and cinched her heart before she squared her shoulders, lifted her chin, and pressed her lips into a firm line. No regrets. This life of adventure, possible peril, and assured excitement was far better than the mundane, safe, and secure—boring as Hades—existence of the past few months.
Perhaps she would have been contented if she were married and had a family...
No. Stop.
Stomping a foot, she gave one sharp shake of her head to dispel thatwayward thought. At nearly six and twenty, the quixotic but impractical girlhood dream of a husband, four children (two boys and two girls), and a cozy cottage at the shore had been shoved far back on a cupboard shelf. The door had been firmly shut and the key turned in the lock, then tucked away so that temptation would not lure her into peeking inside from time to time to see what might have been.
This was her life, and she had a straightforward choice: to accept her fate or bemoan it.
Practical, resilient, and intrepid, Trinity chose the former.
Come, she chided herself, always one to face self-pity and discouragement with logic and stoicism.
You have much for which to be grateful.
How many women of humble origins have traveled as extensively as you?
Have eaten the rich, tantalizing foods of many cultures?
Have laughed (and also gasped) half in awe and half in astonishment at foreign entertainment and unique customs?
A gull landed on a nearby piling. Head cocked, the gray and white creature observed the tumult aboard the ship and then turned its tiny, black button eyes on her. The wind ruffled the bird's tail feathers, and it flapped its wings twice.
"Shouldn't you be tucked snuggly in your nest?" she asked the inquisitive bird. "Or wherever birds of your kind sleep?"
The gull flapped its wings again and took flight, circling above her once before gliding toward the chimney stacks a few streets away.
Pulling the hood of her serviceable woolen cloak farther over her head to prevent the breeze nipping at her cheeks from making her ears ache, Trinity scanned her gaze over the scruffy crew bustling about the deck with practiced skill before shifting her regard to the much less active East India Docks below.
This time of night, the wharf was vacant except for a trio of loudly singing, obviously pished sailors, a pair of scantily attired ladies of the evening—both revealing a shocking display of bare legs and voluptuous bosoms—and a tired appearing fellow, knitted hat pulled low over his forehead as he hunched into his jacket and lumbered down the long expanse.
From somewhere nearby, bawdy laughter, the lively strains of a fiddle, and more slurred singing carried seaward on the tangy river breeze.
Cleaner and less malodorous than several of the other docks Trinity had visited over the years, the East India Docks' pungent odors would, nevertheless, put off a less stalwart female.
Many a beau monde dandy too, she would wager.
The recipient of raw sewage and other equally noxious substances, the River Thames reeked to high heaven. Not enough to compel Trinity to cover her nose with her crochet-edged and lemon-water-scented handkerchief tucked into her inside cloak pocket but enough to prevent her from totally filling her lungs with the fetid air.
Realizing that she held each breath a second or two, Trinity released her current partial lungful in a small whoosh that created a miniature vapor cloud. Making a rueful face, she chuckled at her silliness. Sailing in October wasn't ideal, but she'd spend the winter in warmer climes, and that was much preferable to England's drizzly, bone-penetrating dampness.
At the docks' far end, a rickety hackney drawn by a sway-backed horse trundled along the cobbles, its wheels echoing hollowly in the gray, fog-shrouded atmosphere. A black cat darted in front of the coach, its tail pointed straight as it fled an invisible foe.
Not superstitious or given to frightening easily, Trinity nevertheless could not stave off the shudder scuttling from her waist to her nape and then padding across her shoulders like a kitten tiptoeing on a prickly bush.
A premonition?
Of what?
A deckhand yelling an ear-burning curse dragged her attention back to the commotion around her.
A wry grin pulled her mouth upward at the sides.
These past years, she had acquired knowledge of vulgar vocabulary that would cause Mrs. Hester Shepherd, the proprietress of the foundling home and school where Trinity had spent her childhood, to blush crimson.
Having been raised to be a proper lady, Trinity had never let such uncouth expletives pass her lips. But should she ever require a hardy curse guaranteed to make one's ears burn, she could summon several creative and physically impossible expletives with no effort whatsoever.
That she did not understand what half of them meant was of no consequence.
The Daunting Duchess—such a regal name for a rather nondescript frigate—sailed in less than an hour at high water.
Trinity's attention drifted toward the dock.
Odd that the captain had not ordered the gangway removed yet.
Weren't all the passengers aboard?
A tendril of hair that had escaped her neat chignon tickled her cheek.
Frowning, she brushed it aside.
Late this afternoon, when she and Mrs. Peagilly—presently enjoying a cup of ginger tea to stave off seasickness—boarded the vessel, Captain Horatio Breckett mentioned that seven other passengers also sailed to Morocco.
Trinity's girlhood friend, Faith Kellinggrave, and her new husband, Lord Constantine, were to have voyaged on the ship too. Unfortunately, Lord Constantine's father, the Duke of Landrith, had suffered a serious riding accident, causing the postponement of Faith's wedding trip until he recovered.

✒️ Collette Cameron
🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐️
I loved this story with its unconventional setting, a journey away from the English shores and the ton, with a young woman sets on living her life at the fullest within her means and a man who seeks to become whom he should have been if not for his rogue ways.
Trinity is a no-nonsense sort of a young woman, she has roamed the earth with her previous employers and struggles to be content when staying in one place, she is a wandering soul seeking her place in the world.
Devin after years of sowing his wild oats has reached his limits when his mother’s scheming nearly saw him leg-shackled to a slip of a girl barely out of the schoolroom.
So he kind of ran away, determined to amend his path and make his late father’s name proud.
Their courtship is unusual as it was not one in the strict meaning of the words, yet, in a short span of time they come to know one another and appreciate the other. But when circumstances kind of force their hands, will the respect they have come to have to the other be enough when rash words and impulsive actions tear them apart.
This is a tale with no villain, as often one is oneself’s worst enemy…
On a side note Little Georgie is a delight, a breath of fresh air.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseDevin Everingham decides it's time he stopped being a rogue and take responsibility of the merchant business his father left him. Escaping his mother's machinations for an advantageous marriage to a title, he leaves England on his ship, the Daunting Duchess, sailing to Morocco. On board the ship, he meets Miss Trinity Ablethorne. Unforseen circumstances lead to a marriage of convenience. Devin has to grow up and let go of his resentment. Trinity has to give him her trust. Love will give them the happiness they both want and need.
A very sweet, clean romance with religious overtones and an unexpected plot twist.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book gifted by the author.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2023Format: KindleI have read all of the books offered in Ms. Cameron’s Daughters Of Desire series and enjoyed the stories about the different couples and how they were able to reach their HEA. In Lady Tempts a Rogue, we are introduced to Trinity Ablethorne, who has been a spinster for several years. She has supported herself by acting as a companion to various elderly women. Her most recent position is to a Mrs. Peagilly, who likes to travel and plans to head to the Mediterranean. Onboard they meet Mr. Devin Everingham, who has decided to escape his mother’s efforts to coerce him into marriage by traveling at sea. Unfortunately, Devin hasn’t traveled at sea before and becomes ill with seasickness. He is nursed back to health by Trinity and Mrs. Peagilly. I have to admit I was very sad when Mrs. Peagilly unexpectedly passed away during the voyage. I quite liked her character. Ms. Cameron vividly described the ceremony on board for Mrs. Peagilly and how several passengers, including Devin, did a rendition of Amazing Grace with stringed and wind instruments. It was so touching. After Mrs. Peagilly’s death, Trinity is faced with the fact that she is at sea and has no money to pay for her fare back to England. Devin offers her a solution, a marriage of convenience. It is evident during the voyage, their opinions and feelings about one another are gradually changing. Devin feels he needs to protect Trinity. When they arrive back in England, Devin finds out his mother had died. I was very upset with how he acted and what he said to Trinity at that time. Then for me, I felt that the ending became somewhat rushed. Both of them did finally confess their love for one another. They were likable characters. Their romance was mildly spicy. For me, the one character on the ship that didn’t like Devin was superfluous to the story. Overall, I rate this one 4 – 4 ½ stars. I received an ARC of this work which did not influence my rating.

When he wants to get away from his mother's pressure to get him married off, a rake takes a sea voyage to visit a plantation that had been left to him by his father.
She is traveling as a companion and having a wonderful adventures seeing new places, after all she is a spinster, at least in her mind.
When these two meet, oh well, you will just have to read and see! Collette always enchants and captures the essence of the time and characters with her amazing pen and does not let go until the end!
