Faking our wedding was easy. Faking the truth was a whole lot harder.

Lord Ivan de Greystoke
Don’t let my fancy title fool you because I’m a bad boy.
I’ve always been. Now I’ve set my sights on Tawny St John
the one woman who stirs a possessiveness and desire in me that makes my insides twist.
She’s nineteen, blonde, fabulously beautiful, and married to Robert Maxwell.
Which makes her a gold … Maxwell.
Which makes her a gold digger and my f**king stepmother!
Oh and completely unavailable … until now.
For the old man’s dead, she’s the heiress of a hundred million fortune, and I’m the executor of her trust, but it ain’t no walk in the park. My stepbrother and stepsisters feel robbed and are of the opinion that she should join her husband a.s.a.p, and I’ve got a raging hard-on. Permanently.
Then I come up with the perfect solution. A fake marriage … to me.
Tawny Maxwell
Everyone thinks I’m a gold digger. Even the dazzlingly, beautiful man whom I can’t stop thinking about looks at me with distrust and suspicion in his silver eyes.
But they don’t know the whole story.
I have a secret. It’s so big it will blow their minds, but I’m not telling.
Never…

Ivan de Greystoke was one gorgeous, dirty piece of aristocratic work and Tawny Maxwell was hot as hell and sweet to boot.
Tawny was married to Ivan’s stepdad, Robert, who was old enough to be her father. So given his vast fortune and family estate, she was labelled by everybody as a gold digger, their relationship couldn’t have been based on love. Even, Ivan, executor of the estate and will thinks Tawny was in it for the money. But what she had with Robert was real and authentic and love was very much there but Tawny and Robert had a secret, one she swore to keep to him on his deathbed. So when she comes up as the sole heir to his fortune cutting his kids off, she finds herself in danger where everyone benefits if she’s no longer alive. Ivan, though hot and cold with her, realises after someone almost gets to her that she needs protection and takes her into his home.
From there it’s a push and pull between Ivan’s want for her and Tawny’s desire for him and misunderstood circumstances. When they do get together though? Oh yeah, he’s dirty and they’re hot as hell. An easy breezy read with a little suspense thrown in, some nasty ‘step kids’ and a hot steamy love affair.
My favorite part of the book though is the turtle sanctuary and the island it’s on. I’d love to be sitting there right now.
4**** stars for keeping my mind of all the bad that’s going down in life right now. That makes it well worth the read.
I read this book back in 2018 but I was missing this author’s writing and I decided to reread it.
Tawny and Ivan were a freaking roller coaster and I simple loved every moment. They were so hot and perfect together that I enjoyed them as much as the first time I read the book.
The first time I read it, I was so curious that I couldn’t put the book down. The characters, the mystery and the romance got me really addicted. I’m so happy I decided to reread it again and I really need to pick up the other Georgia’s books I have in my TBR.
I really love reading everything I can from Georgia Le Carre!!
Dirty Aristocrat- Lord Ivan’s character had me swooning and stuff!!! good stuff!
Lord Ivan is the gorgeous step-son to the beautiful, young Tawny, and he’s had an attraction for her since he met her.
Tawny is from the USA, her deceased and much older husband children hate her. She was was told from her husband to protect her from his children. He goes further by marrying her.
She also is attracted to Ivan and agrees to his plan. But, Tawny has a secret, and it’s relly big! I was not expecting it. But I really enjoyed this story line, the characters, his children are mean to her. They have no respect for her, especially after the will is read.
This hot romance has an alpha-male and a beautiful damsel in distress. It’s a page turner, filled with unexpected secrets and suspense. I just wanted more about Tawny and Ivan. Overall this is another 5 star from me!
