A deliciously sexy new series from USA Today
bestselling and RITA award winning author Caroline Linden,
in which an utterly shocking book––Fifty Shades
of Grey for the Regency era–– has all of London
talking and gives more than one young miss a mind for
scandal.
Joan Bennet has:
4 Seasons in London, although one might argue that a
Season spent as a wallflower is hardly a Season at all
3 fashion mishaps of epic proportions, inflicted upon
her by a mother determined that pink was her best color
2 broken hearts, although both objects of affection
turned out to be unworthy and her recovery was swift
1 scandalous offer, which she longed to accept but in
the end wasn't certain ruin would be worth it (with that
man, anyway); and
0 marriage proposals
And she has had enough. If she can't be a respectable,
happily married woman, she might as well embrace her fate
and live it up, preferably as the kept woman of a rakish
earl or similar exciting scoundrel, provided it's far
enough away from London her mother will never find out.
Tristan, Lord Burke, has:
4 clinging, pestering female relations bent on driving
him insane;
3 favorite types of women: widowed, married, and
willing;
2 months of homelessness, thanks to the decrepit roof
of his townhouse, currently caved in and in dire need of
replacement;
1 friend, Douglas Bennet, roguish and careless enough
for him to impose upon for two months; and most importantly
0 interest in the smart–mouthed,
sharp–witted, very buxom sister of Douglas Bennet.
Because the last thing Tristan needs is a wife, and one
can't trifle with a friend's sister without risking
marriage. Moreover, Joan Bennet is the last sort of woman
he would choose, even if he did need a wife. Despite her
mouth. And her bosom. Or the fact that she might be truly
delectable under her horrible clothes. Or the fact that the
only way he seems able to win an argument with her is by
kissing her senseless ... and yet he somehow keeps coming
back for more ...
