“A rogue by reputation. A hero at heart.”
The Wastrel by Margaret Moore is a swoon-worthy historical romance about redemption, hidden depths, and the kind of love that challenges everything you thought you knew. Set against a richly drawn backdrop of English aristocracy and society's unforgiving expectations, this story is a slow unraveling of a man's reputation—and the woman who dares to see beyond it.

The so-called wastrel is everything the ton whispers about: reckless, charming, and completely uninterested in responsibility. But when a scandal forces him to take on guardianship of a young woman, his world is turned upside down. She’s intelligent, spirited, and far too perceptive to fall for his carefully cultivated mask.

What follows is a deeply emotional journey where attraction turns to affection, and affection grows into something neither expected—true love. But it won’t come easily. Society’s judgment, past wounds, and their own stubborn pride threaten to pull them apart before they’ve even begun.

Margaret Moore is a master at crafting stories filled with tension, tenderness, and richly developed characters. The Wastrel isn’t just about romance—it’s about growth, self-worth, and finding strength in love when the world counts you out.
