A Rogue by Any Other Name by Sarah MacLean

5.0

As a young man, the Marquess of Bourne loses his fortune and estate in a card game. He discovers that his family's estate has been added to the dowry of his childhood friend, Penelope. He spends the night with Penelope in his empty estate in order to force her father into allowing the marriage to move forward. Penelope wants her sisters to have happy marriages, so she agrees to marry Bourne. Bourne wants revenge from the man who took his fortune, but Penelope is trying to show Bourne that he can be happy without revenge. A good first book for the The Rules of Scoundrels series.

 2023 reread: I forgot how much I like this series. This book was smuttier than I remembered.
