Mary Balogh

Cassandra Belmont has reached a decision: she is going to become a courtesan. Now all she has to do is select the right (incredibly wealthy) patron, which may be a bit difficult since the rumor that Cassandra took an ax to her late husband is still busily circulating throughout the ton. Fortunately, dazzling and rich Stephen Huxtable, the Earl of Merton, is one of the few people in London who completely dismisses the idea that Cassandra could be a murderess. Getting Stephen to fall in love with her proves to be ridiculously easy, but the one thing Cassandra hasn’t counted on is that her new lover might demand more from her than a simple business arrangement. With her inimitable, brilliantly nuanced sense of characterization, elegantly sensual style, and droll wit, best-seller Balogh continues to set the standard to which all other Regency historical writers aspire while delivering another addictively readable addition to her Huxtable family series.
