All four books in The Rake Chronicles together in the flesh! (okay, I do also have a free novella that is the fifth book, but it only lives in digital form).

It took me a while to get all four of my book babies together but now I have done it! A perfect pairing with the reader guide I posted yesterday 😘. Swipe to the end to see the physical copies of the Japanese translation of WHEN THE DUKE LOVED ME. #historicalromance #historicalromances #regencyromance #flatlayphotography #lemon8book
