The Good Girl's Guide to Rakes, by Eva Leigh

Rules are made for challenge – not obedience.
Celeste has been listening to their silent commands her entire life. She has let them confine her to a view of the world from a single window. But it’s no longer enough to docilely assume the role and the path that have been chosen for her. Before she sacrifices herself to her family’s ambition, she wants something just for herself. A chance to gaze out other windows. A chance to sip champagne in the moonlight and dance under the stars. A chance for a stolen kiss.
I loved this fiercely feminine historical romance about a woman coming into her own. Celeste’s epiphany about what she wants and who she can be was liberating and inspiring. I loved this story about two people who don’t comfortably fit into the roles that have been assigned to them. Two people who feel the most at ease with themselves when they are with each other.
