A gentleman should never mix business with pleasure, unless he’s a gentleman courtesan …
Driven to selling his services to settle gambling debts, the Honourable Mr. Dominick Burke thoroughly enjoys satisfying the appetites of wealthy women. When Miss Calliope Barrington contracts his services, his desire for her is instant and powerful.
Unfortunately, her reasons for hiring him have nothing to do … do with his bedroom talents. On the hunt for a husband, Calliope plans for Dominick to act the part of enamored suitor—thereby making her a more attractive prospect for the gentleman she has her eye on.
In his attempt to seduce her at every turn, Dominick finds himself rapidly losing his heart. However, winning Calliope’s in return will prove difficult. With the true target of Calliope’s efforts taking notice, he now has competition. When a past misdeed threatens to ruin everything, Dominick is left with no other choice. To win Calliope, he’ll have to incite one of the biggest scandals the ton has ever seen.

I’ve enjoyed this series immensely. The premise is compelling. The author has put together unique pairs for this and the prior book. I enjoyed the interaction between Callie and Nick. The intimacy is well written and I was totally engaged. I was moved by the tragedy and challenges. I was thrilled with the result of Callie and NicK’s HEA. However, I’ve read this story in similar forms over the years. If you are new to the genre you may not agree with my opinion. I am looking forward to Benedict’s story.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
