Webmaster - Andrew Cornick

AS part of the Mills and Boon Centennial Celebrations in 2008, I have written a book set in the Edwardian High Society of 1908.

Sally Bowes is a scandalous figure in Edwardian London. The owner of the outrageously fashionable night club, The Blue Parrot, Sally guards her business and her heart well. But when she meets Jack Kestrel, both come under threat...

Jack Kestrel is known as the last rake in London. Descended from the ancestral line of the devastatingly attractive Dukes of Kestrel, Jack is dangerous and dissolute and irresistible.  When Jack and Sally start a passionate affair, neither of them think that the last rake in London might finally lose his heart.

"Cornick gives the reader a fine overview of the Edwardian period. She combines a handsome rogue and an independent woman in this sexually charged romance that shows how true love can overcome guilt and heal wounded hearts." Romantic Times BookClub Magazine 4 Stars!

Utterly delectable, superbly written and mesmerizing... a rip-roaring tale that will charm and delight readers everywhere! Fast-paced, poignant and romantic, The Last Rake in London is an outstanding historical romance by one of the genre’s brightest stars!" Julie Bonello, Cataromance, 4 and a half stars!
