Salvatore Tremayne has lived with a burning hatred toward
the father who denied him his birthright…and the brother
who received all the glory. Raised in one of London's most
infamous brothels, Salvatore and his partner Nicolette
have climbed from struggling musicians to London's most
sought-after entertainers. But even success can not
satisfy the vengeance Salvatore craves toward his dead
father and his heir, the Earl of Kedgwick.
When an opportunity arises to play at his brother's
engagement party, Salvatore puts a plan into motion—
Nicolette will seduce the earl, and convince him not to
marry the Duke of Durham's daughter. Thereby causing
further scandal of the Kedgwick name and denying the earl
the rich dowry.
Nicolette, who has no experience with intimacy, asks
Salvatore to teach her how to make love, so that she can
properly seduce the earl. Little does Salvatore know that
Nicolette has been in love with him for years. All of that
changes with one night of passion. Now Salvatore is
questioning what is more important to him—revenge, or the
love of the woman he might lose…to the very man he hates
most of all.
