Book 2
Society already believes she's a scarlet woman. Why not become one?
Posing nude to appease her now ex-fiance perhaps wasn't the most prudent idea Beatrice Weatherly has ever had. With the photographs scrutinized up and down the ton and her brother running them into debt, Beatrice's hopes of making a respectable marriage are dashed.
After one glance at Beatrice's infamous racy cabinet cards, wealthy, powerful Edmund Ellsworth Richie is soon obsessed with Beatrice's voluptuous figure. His indecent proposal--one month of hedonistic servitude in exchange for enough money to pay her brother's debts--is one she can hardly refuse.
Determined not to let the rogue best her, Beatrice sets out for the infamous House of Madame Chamfleur to learn how to appease Edmund's well-known appetite. Soon the couple is playing out exquisite fantasies...and feeling emotion that goes deeper than flesh. But Edmund harbors a shocking secret, and Beatrice must decide if she's prepared to give up everything for a man who can offer her nothing, but who means everything.

Then, unexpectedly, she meets Wilson Ruffington again – and their long-ago passion instantly reignites.
Wilson devises a ruse to avoid stirring scandal: a marriage of convenience that will provide Adela’s family with a generous settlement – and also keep her in his bed. Their plan works perfectly, until family rivalries and intrigue threaten to destroy their arrangement . . . and the unspoken love blooming beneath it. The Ladies' Sewing Circle will be scandalised!
