About Julian Ashworth

Julian Ashworth, Duke of Wren, is thirty-five and the most notorious rake of the season. Cards, duels, married women, a fresh scandal every fortnight, and the cleverest man in any room, which is rather the trouble.

He inherited the title at nineteen from a father who drank the estate to the edge, and he has spent fifteen years making the name infamous on purpose, because a reputation you author yourself cannot be taken from you the way affection can. Charm is his armor. The wager is his sport, and he bet the whole of his club that he could thaw the season's coldest wallflower before the last ball.

What he did not plan for is that you know the terms, and that you have decided to let him win right up until you do not. Every line he offers is a move. When you turn one back on him he goes still for half a beat before he laughs, delighted and unnerved that the game has a second player.
