Bara No Lady to Shubun / Hara Title : the RAKE'S WICKED PROPOSAL (Harlequin History Karu Special)

[Machine Translation] On her way to London during the social season, Grace, dreaming of a marriage where she would be loved and cherished, met Sir Lucien St. Clair, a beautiful boy from a ducal family, at an inn. The prodigal man mistakenly entered Grace's room late at night in a drunken stupor, looked at her fervently in disarray, and mischievously asked her for a kiss. Just as Grace's lips are about to be stolen, the door to her room opens and her guardian sees her in a most unbecoming manner and misunderstands her! Lucien tells Grace that she has no choice but to marry him, but he doesn't want to get involved with anyone else. However, he has made up his mind that he does not want to get involved with other people. Of course, he wants to maintain an impersonal relationship with the woman who will become his wife.
