A marriage of convenience…full of inconvenient secrets.
Jocelyn Townsend’s life as a courtesan bears no resemblance
to the life she envisioned in girlish dreams. But it allows
her and her eccentric mother to live in relative
security—until her protector marries and no longer requires
her services.
Desperate to find a new benefactor, one kind enough to
accept her mother’s increasingly mad flights of fancy,
Jocelyn is nearly overwhelmed with uncertainty when a
lifeline comes from an unexpected source.
Leo Sherbourne’s requirements for a wife are few. She must
mother his young daughter, run his household, and warm his
bed. All in a calm, dignified manner with a full measure of
common sense. After his late wife’s histrionics and
infidelity, he craves a simpler, quieter life.
As they embark on their arrangement, Leo and Jocelyn
discover an attraction that heats their bedroom and a mutual
admiration that warms their days. But it isn’t long before
gossip regarding the fate of Leo’s first wife, and his
frequent, unexplained absences, make Jocelyn wonder if the
secrets of Merrivale Manor are rooted in murder…
Warning: Contains mysterious incidents, a mad mother who
screeches without provocation, scheming relatives, and a
captivating husband who blows scorching hot and suspiciously
cold. All is not as it seems…and isn’t that delicious?
