Lady Tempts a Rogue: A Romantic Class Difference Forced Proximity Regency Romance with Aristocrats (Daughters of Desire (Scandalous Ladies) Book 6) Kindle Edition
Unapologetic rogue Devin Everingham led a charmed life. Sadly, those days are behind him. Now that his meddling mother has demanded he marry, he has but one option. Escape. Visiting the overseas business ventures he inherited from his father will give him exactly what he needs. Until an extraordinary woman stumbles into his life and makes him question every choice he’s ever made…
Trinity Ablethorne accepted her spinster status long ago. Traveling the world at her employer’s expense is more thrilling than romance could ever be. Unfortunately, getting stranded in a plague-ravaged foreign country changed all that. Now, only a marriage of convenience to the devastatingly handsome Devin can save her. But accepting his offer doesn’t mean she’ll allow him anywhere near her heart…
Devin and Trinity soon learn just how quickly a simple business arrangement can fall apart when actual feelings begin to grow. The only question remaining now is if they can stop running away from love and allow themselves to build a happily ever after together…

From the Author
LADY TEMPTS A ROGUE is the final book in my DAUGHTERS OF DESIRES (SCANDALOUS LADIES) Series. I'm always sad when a series ends but excited to move on to new characters. While this story is a sweet Regency romance with inspirational overtones, I also attempted to introduce romantic elements tastefully.
I conducted a tremendous amount of research for this story, and you'll find all sorts of nuggets throughout the reading. I always strive for as much historical accuracy as possible while providing a romantic novel. In a departure from my usual settings, most of this Regency romance takes place on a ship.
My hero, Devin Everingham, is the great-grandson of an earl and the son of a wealthy businessman. He had a reputation as a rogue and a rake, but there's a whole other side to him that he keeps hidden until he meets Trinity Ablethorne aboard the Daunting Duchess.
His purpose for being aboard the ship is multi-faceted: he's partial owner, he's neglected his father's business ventures for too long, and he's escaping his manipulative mother's matchmaking machinations.
Devin's transformation from rogue to hero throughout the story is heartwarming. He has the opportunity to rescue Trinity, and he does so with praiseworthy unselfishness.
Trinity is exactly the kind of heroine I admire. Intrepid, intelligent, full of energy, and possessing a great sense of humor, she's an optimist who embraces whatever life or fate tosses her way.
When fate puts Devin in her path, let's just say neither of them could've predicted the outcome.
I hope you enjoy this last installment of my Daughters of Desire (Scandalous Ladies) series. To ensure you never miss any new books, sales, or other book news, subscribe to my newsletter, The Regency Rose: bit.ly/TheRegencyRoseGift.

From the Back Cover
After having spent several years traveling with Mrs. Westcott, I vowed I would remain in England thereafter. Convinced that I had seen and experienced all that any soul could desire, I was committed to putting down roots and settling into a comfortable, predictable life.
And yet, within a few short months in my most recent position as a companion to an elderly dame who was content to stay home except for attending church, I became so restless, bored, and malcontented that I leaped—yes, very nearly leaped about, clapping my hands, and giggling as if I was queer in the attic—when the opportunity presented itself to travel once again.
Tomorrow night, I set sail for the Mediterranean as a companion to Mrs. Eustacia Peagilly. I do not know when I shall return to England, but I promise to write as I have always done. Do remember me in your prayers, for Mrs. Peagilly, despite her advanced years, is a bold adventurer at heart, and I expect many exciting challenges in the months ahead.
~Miss Trinity Ablethorne, in a letter to her girlhood friend, Mrs. Purity Mayfield-Rutland
19 October 1818
Daunting Duchess's foredeck
Ten minutes past nine P.M.
Here I go again, off to who knows where and for God only knows how long.
The tiniest pang of regret tightened Trinity's throat and cinched her heart before she squared her shoulders, lifted her chin, and pressed her lips into a firm line. No regrets. This life of adventure, possible peril, and assured excitement was far better than the mundane, safe, and secure—boring as Hades—existence of the past few months.
Perhaps she would have been contented if she were married and had a family...
No. Stop.
Stomping a foot, she gave one sharp shake of her head to dispel thatwayward thought. At nearly six and twenty, the quixotic but impractical girlhood dream of a husband, four children (two boys and two girls), and a cozy cottage at the shore had been shoved far back on a cupboard shelf. The door had been firmly shut and the key turned in the lock, then tucked away so that temptation would not lure her into peeking inside from time to time to see what might have been.
This was her life, and she had a straightforward choice: to accept her fate or bemoan it.
Practical, resilient, and intrepid, Trinity chose the former.
Come, she chided herself, always one to face self-pity and discouragement with logic and stoicism.
You have much for which to be grateful.
How many women of humble origins have traveled as extensively as you?
Have eaten the rich, tantalizing foods of many cultures?
Have laughed (and also gasped) half in awe and half in astonishment at foreign entertainment and unique customs?
A gull landed on a nearby piling. Head cocked, the gray and white creature observed the tumult aboard the ship and then turned its tiny, black button eyes on her. The wind ruffled the bird's tail feathers, and it flapped its wings twice.
"Shouldn't you be tucked snuggly in your nest?" she asked the inquisitive bird. "Or wherever birds of your kind sleep?"
The gull flapped its wings again and took flight, circling above her once before gliding toward the chimney stacks a few streets away.
Pulling the hood of her serviceable woolen cloak farther over her head to prevent the breeze nipping at her cheeks from making her ears ache, Trinity scanned her gaze over the scruffy crew bustling about the deck with practiced skill before shifting her regard to the much less active East India Docks below.
This time of night, the wharf was vacant except for a trio of loudly singing, obviously pished sailors, a pair of scantily attired ladies of the evening—both revealing a shocking display of bare legs and voluptuous bosoms—and a tired appearing fellow, knitted hat pulled low over his forehead as he hunched into his jacket and lumbered down the long expanse.
From somewhere nearby, bawdy laughter, the lively strains of a fiddle, and more slurred singing carried seaward on the tangy river breeze.
Cleaner and less malodorous than several of the other docks Trinity had visited over the years, the East India Docks' pungent odors would, nevertheless, put off a less stalwart female.
Many a beau monde dandy too, she would wager.
The recipient of raw sewage and other equally noxious substances, the River Thames reeked to high heaven. Not enough to compel Trinity to cover her nose with her crochet-edged and lemon-water-scented handkerchief tucked into her inside cloak pocket but enough to prevent her from totally filling her lungs with the fetid air.
Realizing that she held each breath a second or two, Trinity released her current partial lungful in a small whoosh that created a miniature vapor cloud. Making a rueful face, she chuckled at her silliness. Sailing in October wasn't ideal, but she'd spend the winter in warmer climes, and that was much preferable to England's drizzly, bone-penetrating dampness.
At the docks' far end, a rickety hackney drawn by a sway-backed horse trundled along the cobbles, its wheels echoing hollowly in the gray, fog-shrouded atmosphere. A black cat darted in front of the coach, its tail pointed straight as it fled an invisible foe.
Not superstitious or given to frightening easily, Trinity nevertheless could not stave off the shudder scuttling from her waist to her nape and then padding across her shoulders like a kitten tiptoeing on a prickly bush.
A premonition?
Of what?
A deckhand yelling an ear-burning curse dragged her attention back to the commotion around her.
A wry grin pulled her mouth upward at the sides.
These past years, she had acquired knowledge of vulgar vocabulary that would cause Mrs. Hester Shepherd, the proprietress of the foundling home and school where Trinity had spent her childhood, to blush crimson.
Having been raised to be a proper lady, Trinity had never let such uncouth expletives pass her lips. But should she ever require a hardy curse guaranteed to make one's ears burn, she could summon several creative and physically impossible expletives with no effort whatsoever.
That she did not understand what half of them meant was of no consequence.
The Daunting Duchess—such a regal name for a rather nondescript frigate—sailed in less than an hour at high water.
Trinity's attention drifted toward the dock.
Odd that the captain had not ordered the gangway removed yet.
Weren't all the passengers aboard?
A tendril of hair that had escaped her neat chignon tickled her cheek.
Frowning, she brushed it aside.
Late this afternoon, when she and Mrs. Peagilly—presently enjoying a cup of ginger tea to stave off seasickness—boarded the vessel, Captain Horatio Breckett mentioned that seven other passengers also sailed to Morocco.
Trinity's girlhood friend, Faith Kellinggrave, and her new husband, Lord Constantine, were to have voyaged on the ship too. Unfortunately, Lord Constantine's father, the Duke of Landrith, had suffered a serious riding accident, causing the postponement of Faith's wedding trip until he recovered.
Besides two businessmen, Amos Truman-Shelton and Lawrence Meriwether, Trinity had met the diplomat, Sir Godf

✒️ Collette Cameron
🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐️
I loved this story with its unconventional setting, a journey away from the English shores and the ton, with a young woman sets on living her life at the fullest within her means and a man who seeks to become whom he should have been if not for his rogue ways.
Trinity is a no-nonsense sort of a young woman, she has roamed the earth with her previous employers and struggles to be content when staying in one place, she is a wandering soul seeking her place in the world.
Devin after years of sowing his wild oats has reached his limits when his mother’s scheming nearly saw him leg-shackled to a slip of a girl barely out of the schoolroom.
So he kind of ran away, determined to amend his path and make his late father’s name proud.
Their courtship is unusual as it was not one in the strict meaning of the words, yet, in a short span of time they come to know one another and appreciate the other. But when circumstances kind of force their hands, will the respect they have come to have to the other be enough when rash words and impulsive actions tear them apart.
This is a tale with no villain, as often one is oneself’s worst enemy…
On a side note Little Georgie is a delight, a breath of fresh air.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2023Devin Everingham decides it's time he stopped being a rogue and take responsibility of the merchant business his father left him. Escaping his mother's machinations for an advantageous marriage to a title, he leaves England on his ship, the Daunting Duchess, sailing to Morocco. On board the ship, he meets Miss Trinity Ablethorne. Unforseen circumstances lead to a marriage of convenience. Devin has to grow up and let go of his resentment. Trinity has to give him her trust. Love will give them the happiness they both want and need.
A very sweet, clean romance with religious overtones and an unexpected plot twist.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book gifted by the author.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2023I have read all of the books offered in Ms. Cameron’s Daughters Of Desire series and enjoyed the stories about the different couples and how they were able to reach their HEA. In Lady Tempts a Rogue, we are introduced to Trinity Ablethorne, who has been a spinster for several years. She has supported herself by acting as a companion to various elderly women. Her most recent position is to a Mrs. Peagilly, who likes to travel and plans to head to the Mediterranean. Onboard they meet Mr. Devin Everingham, who has decided to escape his mother’s efforts to coerce him into marriage by traveling at sea. Unfortunately, Devin hasn’t traveled at sea before and becomes ill with seasickness. He is nursed back to health by Trinity and Mrs. Peagilly. I have to admit I was very sad when Mrs. Peagilly unexpectedly passed away during the voyage. I quite liked her character. Ms. Cameron vividly described the ceremony on board for Mrs. Peagilly and how several passengers, including Devin, did a rendition of Amazing Grace with stringed and wind instruments. It was so touching. After Mrs. Peagilly’s death, Trinity is faced with the fact that she is at sea and has no money to pay for her fare back to England. Devin offers her a solution, a marriage of convenience. It is evident during the voyage, their opinions and feelings about one another are gradually changing. Devin feels he needs to protect Trinity. When they arrive back in England, Devin finds out his mother had died. I was very upset with how he acted and what he said to Trinity at that time. Then for me, I felt that the ending became somewhat rushed. Both of them did finally confess their love for one another. They were likable characters. Their romance was mildly spicy. For me, the one character on the ship that didn’t like Devin was superfluous to the story. Overall, I rate this one 4 – 4 ½ stars. I received an ARC of this work which did not influence my rating.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2023A wonderful adventure that just might lead to romance if the hero can survive the sea voyage!
When he wants to get away from his mother's pressure to get him married off, a rake takes a sea voyage to visit a plantation that had been left to him by his father.
She is traveling as a companion and having a wonderful adventures seeing new places, after all she is a spinster, at least in her mind.
When these two meet, oh well, you will just have to read and see! Collette always enchants and captures the essence of the time and characters with her amazing pen and does not let go until the end!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2023This was a wonderful story to end this series.
Trinity & Devin were absolutely Wonderful characters.
I am sad the series has come to an end.
If you haven't read any of Collette Cameron's books, this series was Absolutely Fantastic. A clean set of stories. No steamy parts at all.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2023Lady Tempts A Rogue was the best book I have read in recent weeks. I love the implied emotions and how Collette Cameron draws you into the story. This is a FANTASTIC book. A must read by a very talented author. I love that every motion is employed without it being blatantly shoved in your face.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2023Devin and Trinity defy anything traditional happening in their story. Wonderful characters and a rich tale with laughter, tears, and smiles.

Orphans finds their true love and families except for Trinity. I was kind of sad that she didn’t find hers. I hope Collette will write an epilogue book to include all the girls together with their husbands and children. You will not regret purchasing this series!

4.0 out of 5 stars An intrepid lady traveller
Trinity loves to travel, or thought she did so when the opportunity arose to be a companion to someone who stayed in England she grabbed it with both hands. Only she's bored and looks for a companion job to someone who likes to travel again.
She finds herself in a shop bound for Morocco when she meets Devin, part owner of the ship running away from his mother's machinations. A friendship starts to build.
Another good instalment in this series. Not quite as captivating as some of the others. But a decent short read.
