Rogue Lord John M. Brewer

In his desire to escape from his origins, Steven Cosgrove wanted to make something of himself. Born to a lower middle-class family, he wanted more for himself and his future. His uncle/guardian decided a career in law would do this. The education would begin at a London public school.

Regency London is a time of luxury where one’s status in society seems to be everyone’s business. And Steven suffers bullying for not being born into affluence, especially at the hands of Lord Fallworth. At one point, Lord Fallworth, along with his two cohorts, left Steven with a prominent facial scar. It doesn’t help that the woman Steven fell in love with chose to marry Lord Fallworth instead.

Steven has to learn to defend himself and must work hard until he does become a lawyer. And as fate would have it, he ends up working for Lord Fallworth’s mother, whose desire is to bequeath her marriage settlement to her daughter, Lord Fallworth’s half-sister. Lord Fallworth wants that money for himself as he is deep in debt from gambling. He would fight this decision by his mother, but there would be another obstacle on his path: his half-sister and Steven would fall in love with each other. This additional conflict of course increases the tension between Steven and Lord Fallworth.
