When the Marquis of Dutton presents another woman with the
Melverley pearls, Lady Louisa Kirkland cannot believe it.
First of all, they are her pearls given to her by her
grandmother; second, she's had her eye on Lord Dutton for
the better part of two years. Determined to get her pearls
and her man, Louisa turns to Sophia, Countess of Dalby,
who's assumed to have once been a courtesan.
Lord Henry Blakesley has loved Louisa since he met her two
years before, but she prefers Dutton. So, Blakesley wagers
Dutton that he can get Louisa to prefer him (Blakesley)
over Dutton -- and the pearls set the plan in motion.
Louisa soon finds herself engaged; but to Blakesley, not
Dutton. One thing she knows for certain is that she very
much likes Blakesley's kisses, and not so very much
Dutton's. It doesn't take Louisa long to realize that
Blakesley is the man she really loves, while Dutton is
nothing more than a fascination. When Louisa's father
refuses her hand to Blakesley, a little help from Lady
Sophia is required.
THE COURTESAN'S SECRET is a highly sexual story with
intriguing characters. The entire book has the best
characters. I think every one of them could have their own
story, since their personalities absolutely shine. Awesome
writing by Claudia Dain.
On the night of her debut two years ago, Lady Louisa
Kirkland fell for the devilish Marquis of Dutton. It’s high
time, she’s decided, that he realized he loves her. Also,
there is the matter of Louisa’s family pearls, which are in
his possession. For both problems, Louisa will need the
help of Lady Sophia, an ex-courtesan more clever than all
the other ton matrons combined…
