Description from the publisher:
Lord Seth Templeton has no desire
for life to change. He enjoyed every
minute of his bachelor existence. Anyway,
his older brother, the Marquis of Eastbrook, partakes in enough seriousness for
one family. His reputation as a rake has
never caused him any problems…until now.
Now, he must find a wife. And quickly.
According to the terms of the inheritance, he must be engaged within two months or forfeit his grandfather’s money – money that would save his family. Finding a wife would be easy enough for a man like Seth but he’s certainly not ready to settle down. Surely there must be a way out of this situation…?
In search of a solution, Seth finds himself in the depths of a place in which he never thought he’d set foot...
A library.
He also finds himself spending time with the clever Miss Prudence Hartley. The woman is a whizz with books and the law, and is thus, extremely useful to Seth. He needs her – a for her strangely vast brain only of course.
After all, what does it matter if he likes the way she pouts as she reads a book or furrows her brow in concentration? He’s a rake. And nothing will change that.

A RAKE NEVER CHANGES HIS SPOTS is
the second book in the Inheritance
Clause series. This book could
stand on its own but is even better when enjoyed as part of the series and in
the order of release.
This was a fun, reluctant friends to
lovers to HEA, historical romance. I
enjoyed my time reading this novella and could not put it down. The characters are very likeable and, though
the progression was predictable, it was just what I want in a feel-good
romance.
I loved Seth more than any rake I’ve
read about before. He’s intelligent,
sweet, and gentlemanly.
I believe the next story will be the
bookish sister, Minerva. So far, she
seems like she will be similar to Seth’s Prudence. I look forward to discovering the author’s
creativity in presenting her story.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC
via BookSprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
