Sebastian Hall is a piano prodigy, but now finds himself down on his luck. He needs money and his brother offers him a job that will lead him to meet a woman from his past. Clara Whitmore loved her piano tutor when she was young. Meeting Sebastian again has brought back those feelings, but now even stronger than before. Clara hopes Sebastian is still the man she loved long ago, and the man who can now save her from a fate she fears the most.

Nina Rowan has written a story filled with romance, mystery, intrigue, and adventure. Sebastian and Clara are well -rounded enjoyable characters, whose secrets make them even more likable. A PASSION FOR PLEASURE has a greedy, mean villain who is a perfect opposite to Sebastian and Clara. A handsome yet secretive hero, a strong yet desperate heroine, an evil villain, compassionate side characters, and an ending with a twist, combine to create a recipe for a steamy page turning romance. A PASSION FOR PLEASURE is a book I will read again, and I look forward to reading more of Rowan's Daring Hearts series.
