Mary Balogh
New York Times ,bestselling author Mary Balogh weaves a sensuous spell of romance that brings together the unlikeliest pair of lovers in the unlikeliest place of allâ€“ an infamous London house of pleasure. ,
  ,
,She was unlike any woman heâ€™d ever met in the ton or the demimonde. But Sir Gerald Stapleton frequented Mrs. Blythâ€™s euphemistically dubbed â€œfinishing schoolâ€ for pure, uncomplicated pleasureâ€“and nothing else. So why was this confirmed bachelor so thoroughly captivated by one woman in particular? Why did he find himself wondering how such a rare jewel of grace, beauty, and refinement as Priss had ended up a courtesan? And when she needed protection, why did Gerald, whoâ€™d sworn heâ€™d never get entangled in affairs of the heart, hasten to set her up as his own pampered mistress to ensure her safetyâ€“and have her all to himself?, For Priscilla Wentworth, the path leading to Sir Geraldâ€™s bed had been as filled with misfortune as it suddenly seemed charmed. But Priss couldnâ€™t allow herself to believe sheâ€™d ever be more to a man like Sir Gerald than a well-cared-for object of pleasure. Now, despite Geraldâ€™s deep distrust of marriage, neither scandal nor societyâ€™s censure can keep them apartâ€“only the fear of trusting their hearts.
