From Booklist
Returning home from the war, Horatio Cave, now the Viscount Darien, is determined to restore the luster to the Cave name, which has been tarnished by scandal. The key element in Horatio's campaign to win back the ton is Lady Theodosia Debenham. Horatio offers to clear the recent rumor that her brother Dare deserted the field at Waterloo if Thea will pretend to be his fiancée for at least six weeks. Determined to help her beloved brother no matter the cost, Thea agrees, even though it means she must spend all of her free time with the deliciously dark, definitely dangerous, and decidedly sexy Horatio. After completing her Company of Rogues series with Lord Dare Debenham's story in To Rescue a Rogue (2006), Beverley returns to that same captivating world for the tale of the one man who hated the Rogues and the woman who falls in love with him. Risk, deception, and desire all come together brilliantly in Beverley's latest delectably sexy and wickedly witty Regency historical. Charles, John

Review
""Beverley brings the Regency period to life in this highly romantic story. She's most adept at making the reader care for her vividly portrayed characters. They will be engrossed by this emotionally packed story of great love, tremendous courage and the return of those attractive and dangerous men known as the Rogues. Her Company of Rogues series is well-crafted, delicious and wickedly captivating." Joan Hammond -- Romantic Times, June 2007
Lady Beware: A Novel of the Company of Rogues Book Review
For generations, the Cave family has been marked by scandal, madness, and violence. But after earning a reputation for bravery in the army, Horatio Cave, the new Viscount Darien, has come home to charm London society and restore the family name. He means to start with the lovely Lady Thea Debenham. The magnetism between them is immediate, but can Thea trust the dark, sexy "Vile Viscount"? And will Thea's brother Dare-the most dashing member of the Company of Rogues-believe that Horatio does not deserve the cursed Cave reputation?
From the Author:
My classic Regency "group of friends" series about the Company of Rogues ended in 2006 when the final Rogue found happiness in To Rescue A Rogue. I've been working with these characters and their world for 30 years now, however, so I can't abandon them, and Lady Beware is set in that version of Regency England.
The heroine is sister to Lord Darius Debenham (of TRAR)and the hero has a Roguish connection, too. He knew the Rogues at Harrow school but he's no fan. In fact, he's the man who hates the Rogues, and when he sees a way to use Thea and her family to achieve his goal, he's very satisfied to grasp it.
