Serie Reglas de los Canallas
02. One Good Earl Deserves a Lover
Synopsis:
The second in the incredible new Rules of Scoundrels series from New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean.
Lady Philippa Marbury is odd. The bespectacled, brilliant fourth daughter of the Marquess of Needham and Dolby cares more for books than balls, flora than fashion and science than the season. Nearly engaged to Lord Castleton, Pippa wants to explore the scandalous parts of London she's never seen before marriage. And she knows just who to ask: the tall, charming, quick-witted bookkeeper of The Fallen Angel, London's most notorious and coveted gaming hell, known only as Cross.
Like any good scientist, Pippa's done her research and Cross's reputation makes him perfect for her scheme. She wants science without emotion—the experience of ruination without the repercussions of ruination. And who better to provide her with the experience than this legendary man? But when this odd, unexpected female propositions Cross, it's more than tempting . . . and it will take everything he has to resist following his instincts—and giving the lady precisely what she wants.

Sinopsis:
El segundo en esta nueva e increíble Serie Reglas de los Canallas de New York Times, autora del bestselling Sarah MacLean.
Lady Philippa Marbury es extraña. Con gafas, la brillante cuarta hija del Marqués de Needham y Dolby le importa más los libros que los bailes, las plantas más que la moda, y la ciencia más que la temporada. Casi comprometida con Lord Castleton, Pippa quiere explorar las partes escandalosas de Londres que nunca ha visto antes de casarse. Y ella sabe muy bien a quién preguntarle: el alto, encantador, contador de mente ágil del The Fallen Angel, el más notorio y codiciado jugador de casino de toda Londres, conocido como Cross.
Como cualquier buen científico, Pippa ha hecho su investigación y la reputación de Cross lo hace perfecto para su proyecto. Ella quiere ciencia sin emoción—tener la experiencia de ser arruinada sin las repercusiones de ser arruinada. ¿Y quién mejor para ayudarle con esta experiencia que este legendario hombre?
Pero cuando esta extraña joven le hace una inesperada proposición a Cross, ésta es más que tentadora... y tomará todo lo que él tiene para resistirse a seguir sus instintos— y darle a esta señorita precisamente lo que ella quiere.
