How dare he come back! Even before Kate Walcott has the
chance to inform her Mistress about the fire and the
stranger turned rescuer in the garden, the beautiful Mrs.
Georgette Lawson, a well-known courtesan, seemed to know
who it was and is now torn between excitement and angst.
Looking almost as a sister to Georgette and treated as
such, Kate had her own share of love gone bad misfortunes
and is totally steadfast in her loyalty to her Mistress,
serving as Governess to her three children and problem
solver and organizer for everything in the household. With
her lips still tingling from the kiss from Sir Colin
Boscastle who had mistaken her for Georgette in the garden,
Kate really did not want to be a witness to their reunion
after thirteen years apart. After all, Colin had abandoned
Georgette for his quest to find the man who had murdered
his father. Heartbroken, Georgette had also found herself
pregnant. To stop Colin's son from being a bastard, she had
married an older man and had two more children from him,
but falling on hard times after he died, Georgette, using
her wits and her beauty, had turned to being a mistress to
a series of "protectors" and had done pretty well for
herself.
Mason Earling, the current man who adored her, had even
ensconced the lavish lifestyle loving Georgette and family
in his home parish village in south east England, much to
the dismay and anger of the local villagers. Mason had to
go away on business and left them with only a few servants
for protection and now a few local lads had tried to set
fire to his estate. While Boscastle is helping them out,
Kate knows that Colin and Mason have history between them
and this is not going to go well. After all, she had
written down all the stories about this devilishly handsome
rake and his amazing skills as a lover for Georgette who is
planning to publish her memoirs and living off those
expected funds, if things with Mason didn't turn out.
But now, what to do? Boscastle seems more intent on
waylaying Mason and beguiling her for amorous kisses, than
in wooing Georgette. Is he still that devastating
heartbreaker?
Kate is totally determined to keep all their secrets from
him till she knows if she could trust him. According to
Georgette, he drew women to him "like dust to Venetian
blinds". Could mild mannered Mason really be as guilty as
Boscastle said? What would Griswold, their old servant
remember about the murder? Kate only longs for a husband
and she is not of his class. Should she curse and push him
away or let her feelings crave him?

The New York Times bestselling author of the
"delightfully clever...exceptionally entertaining"
(Booklist) Bridal Pleasures novels beguiles readers
once again with a new series of sensual intrigue and
exquisite surprises....
Disgraced by her past employer, young governess Kate Walcott
owes her loyalty to the only woman willing to hire
her—the sought-after courtesan Mrs. Georgette Lawson.
Georgette entrusts Kate with the care of her unruly
children—and the writing of her shocking memoirs,
which detail her affairs with famous gentlemen, including
the rakehell who promised to marry her, then ruined her.
Sir Colin Boscastle intended to keep his promise to
Georgette--until his father was murdered. Thirteen years of
chasing vengeance pass before he returns to find Georgette
sleeping in his enemy's bed. Revenge has destroyed their
romance, but the two former lovers agree to set a trap to
restore Colin's honor.
Caught in this deadly game, Kate struggles to resist Colin's
virile charm. She knows he is a born heartbreaker and
unreliable rogue. Should she believe him when he whispers
that, for her, he will change his sinful ways?
