Tame Me Please (The Prodigious Peregrines)
All he has done and all he has given up are for family.
Peyton Peregrine, youngest brother to the Marquis of Ashford and dutiful subject to the Crown, tried to put it all behind him. He had cultivated the appearance of profligate rake and rogue as a cover to the detriment of his future.
Only a few know the truth.
He thought to run away but honor will not allow him to pretend that evil does not lurk behind every corner. He knows that he will never be able to wash the images of all he’s seen out of his mind and gain a peaceful night’s sleep if he does not complete the task that he had gladly accepted only two years prior.
He must make those responsible pay, no matter the cost.
He can no longer pretend that all he did was for family or for crown. There is more at stake. He now did it for the sake of love.
Miss Agnes Aldebourne knows the truth. She also knows what society thinks of her. She has heard all even though she pretends otherwise. She is lovely in a quiet sort of way. A bluestocking and many had even compared her to a little gray mouse. But she knows something the ton doesn’t know. She knows what his lips feel like pressed against her own and that is enough for her to throw caution to the wind and most shocking of all, toss all that gray to the devil.
She knows there is more to him than the cool façade he polishes for the ton and even if she must forfeit her place in polite society, she is going to tame him
