Breaking The Rakes Rules – Bronwyn Scott

He took the brush from her hand. ‘What were you thinking to do with this? I don’t recommend it as a weapon of choice.’ ‘A girl has to use what she has at hand.’ Kitt put the brush down. ‘Did you learn anything else about the plantation?’ ‘Are you planning on investing after all?’ She was trying to view this interaction with a level of objective detachment that had nothing to do with the fact a handsome male was in her bedroom after midnight, walking slow, seductive circles around her like a stalking tiger.

Instead, she tried to focus on Selby’s warning. ‘Selby thinks you like to discourage others on purpose.’ ‘What do you think, Bryn?’ His eyes never left hers as he circled. ‘I don’t know what to think,’ she admitted honestly, her voice a little hoarse. ‘As it should be.

I don’t know what to think either. I don’t know enough about this to think anything, which is both worrisome and relaxing. Maybe there’s nothing to worry about. Maybe there is and that should be a concern to your father. If he’s being taken advantage of, the whole bank board will look foolish.’ ‘The Rutherford coffers can handle a loss,’ Bryn said, trying to convince herself Kitt’s words didn’t raise some alarm. ‘It’s not about money. It’s about reputation. This would be a loss of credibility at the fledgling stages of the bank’s formation.

It could be devastating.’ Kitt’s voice was velvet in the darkness, seductive even delivering bad news. Potentially bad news, nothing was certain yet. She couldn’t jump to rash conclusions. ‘What are you going to do?’ She was certain he was going to do something. She could almost feel his grin as he came up behind her, hands at her shoulders, his breath at her neck, feathering her ear. ‘I am going to find that island.’ ‘And if you don’t?’

Being bad has never felt so good! The first time Miss Bryn Rutherford meets Captain Kitt Sherard, he scales her balcony and kisses her breathless!

Enjoy their scorching chemistry in BREAKING THE RAKE’S RULES Available now And look for the Harlequin® Historical Undone! ebook CRAVING THE RAKE’S TOUCH Already available You won’t want to miss this sizzling new series from Bronwyn Scott! 1kitap1.com/en Author Note I hope you’re enjoying the Rakes of the Caribbean miniseries featuring my sexy new heroes: Ren Dryden and Kitt Sherard. Kitt’s story is set against the riskier side of life in a British colony in the nineteenth century. Not nearly as regulated as life in England, the Caribbean offers plenty of room for adventure and rule breaking—two things Kitt is very good at.

You may have met him first in Ren’s story, Playing the Rake’s Game. I always like to learn a little something when I read, so let me share the historical setting for Kitt’s story. It is an economical one. Up until 1836, English pounds were not allowed for import to the Caribbean, so most debts and purchases were paid for in barter and trade (usually rum or sugar) or with Spanish or Dutch currencies.

In June of 1836, a charter was granted to establish a British bank in Barbados. I’ve placed the fictional Rutherford as the envoy charged with carrying out that commission and organizing a board of directors. It is true that the bank would have been a joint stock bank, which means it’s an investment bank.
