Christy Carlyle

USA Today–Bestselling Author: She’s willing to help a dashing actor find his missing sister—but falling in love with him would be wildly improper . . . 

Sophia Ruthven is the epitome of proper behavior. On paper at least—as long as that paper isn't from one of the lady detective stories she secretly pens. She certainly isn’t interested in associating with the dashing Jasper Grey, the wayward heir to the Earl of Stanhope, and one of the stage’s leading men. But when she learns Grey’s younger sister Liddy has gone missing, she can’t deny her desire to solve the mystery . . . or her attraction to the incorrigible scoundrel.

Responsibility isn’t something Grey is very familiar with. On the boards and in the bedroom, he lives exactly how he wants to, shunning all the trappings of respectability and society. Grey knows he should avoid the bewitching Sophia, but he’s never been able to say no to what he wants. And having Sophia in his arms and his bed is quickly becoming the thing he wants the most. 

As Sophia and Grey’s search for Liddy continues across the English countryside, can this scoundrel convince a proper lady that he’s actually perfect for her—or will their adventure leave them both heartbroken?

Romancing the Rules

A Study in Scoundrels

A not-quite-heiress takes on a publishing job—and an insufferable boss—in a novel by a USA Today–bestselling author and “historical romance lover’s dream” (Tessa Dare, author of The Duchess Deal). 

Clarissa Ruthven was born to be a proper lady, but she’s never wanted to live up to the expectations her late father set. Determined to use her inheritance to help the less fortunate women of Victorian London, she’s devastated to learn she won’t be inheriting anything until she marries—a fate she has no interest in. Unwilling to let go of her plans, Clary works at Ruthven Publishing for Gabriel Adamson, a man who’s always hated her. She’s always returned the feeling. But as she begins to turn her family’s publishing company upside down, she finds herself unable to forget her handsome boss.

Gabriel Adamson believes in order. He certainly doesn’t believe Clary should be sticking her nose in the publishing company, and she definitely has no business invading his every thought. But Gabe soon finds he can’t resist Clary’s sense of freedom or her passionate kisses and starts to crave everything she’s willing to give him. And when his dark past comes back to haunt him, he’ll do anything to ensure Clary isn’t hurt . . . even if it means giving up the only woman he’s ever loved.
