Description
Selfless widow Lauren Applegate Harris is determined to retrieve the deed to her beloved father-in-law's estate, lost during one of his drunken gambling spells, even if it means offering herself as a courtesan to the Earl of Sutton, who seized the land. No one need know Lauren's other motive: secretly, she's always longed to dabble, just a little, in sin! The handsome earl is frankly amused. Clearly this winsome and delicate lady has no experience at such wicked behavior. Yet drawn by her show more beauty and thinking to teach her a lesson, he agrees. But after a few weeks of pleasure, it's the earl who finds he has the most to learn, as an outrageous proposal turns into a delightfully amorous tryst with possibilities no one could have predicted. But can love grow from such shocking--and duplicitous--beginnings? show lessTags

Liked this book. It was shorter than her usual offerings but still provided a couple of hours of enjoyment.
Widow Lauryn Harris will do anything to help her grieving father-in-law. While depressed and drunk, he lost the family estate to the scandalous Earl of Sutton. Lauryn has heard rumors that the earl recently dismissed his latest cherie amie...so she decides to apply for the job.
The earl wasn't sure how to react. This obviously genteel woman is no more a courtesan than he is!! As a man of honor, he should turn her away...but she IS quite a beauty...and she's old enough to make her own decisions, and she seems intelligent, and she's such a beauty.
These two interacted well and their growing relationship was definately steamy! The show more mystery was so-so but didn't detract from the story. The character of the countess was quite a hoot. I'd love to read her story one day...it would surely be a doozy! show less
