Dangerous. Sensual. Handsome as sin….

Meet Hayden Rothwell, the shamelessly erotic hero of The Rules of Seduction and author Madeline Hunter’s most irresistible alpha male yet: a man of extraordinary passion and power, a man who can bring out the seductress in any woman . . .

He enters her home without warning or invitation-a stranger of shadowy motives and commanding sensuality. Within hours, Alexia Welbourne is penniless, without any hope of marriage. Until Hayden Rothwell takes her to bed. When one impulsive act of passion forces Alexia to marry the very man who has ruined her, Hayden’s seduction of Alexia is nearly complete. What Alexia doesn’t know is that her irresistible new husband is driven by a secret purpose-and a debt of honor he will risk everything to repay. Alexia is the wild card. Reluctant to give up their nightly pleasures, Hayden must find a way to keep Alexia by his side . . . only to be utterly, thoroughly seduced by a woman who is now playing by her own rules.

Booklist, 2006….
Alexia Welbourne, although virtually penniless and living with relatives, is, as her name suggests, wellborn. But hard times have made her pragmatic, so when Lord Hayden Rothwell arrives unexpectedly, she expects bad tidings, and, indeed, he claims that her cousin, Timothy, has been stealing money from investors at his bank. But Alexia believes Timothy when he says that Hayden has brought the family to ruin. Frustrated and feeling guilty, Hayden offers a job, then a relationship, then marriage to Alexia. She feels she has no choice, but she is honest enough to admit that the physical aspect of their relationship is enjoyable and finds it difficult to reconcile what she has been told about Hayden with what she sees. Hunter is masterful at drawing readers in and creating realistic characters and powerful emotions so that each of her romances both satisfies readers and leaves them anxious for the next book.
