Secret Lessons with the Rake: Hadley's Hellions (Harlequin Historical, #471) (Hadley's Hellions, #4)

by Julia Justiss

The courtesan's courtship

Pursuing a role in Parliament, Christopher Lattimar needs a virtuous marriage to make society overlook his roguish past. When beautiful and disarming Ellie Parmenter offers to reform and refine him, he's too tempted to say no.

Once a courtesan, Ellie knows a thing or two about polishing a diamond in the rough. She has no designs on Christopher-or any man in search of a wife-but their best-laid plans begin to tumble once lessons in respectability turn to seduction...

Hadley's Hellions

[wyvernfriend]

both need saving Christopher Lattimar needs a marriage, he wants to get a proper marriage and overcome some of the gossip in his family. He's a politician and he has been a rake but now he has to settle down.  He turns to Ellie Parmenter, a former courtesan, she knows how to advise him but he has to try to resist her charms, she doesn't want to be a courtesan again.  
 
There is a bit of justification of his attraction for her, she's from a "good" family, who fell on hard time but her family's treatment of her is appalling.  It's not a bad read and I was rooting for the pair.
