The Tender Days of May (The Belle House)

Description

Sin incarnate.

Dark, flashy and irresistible, Lord Raymond Ashbee is admired and warned about in the high society of Victorian London. A hedonist and a ruthless businessman, he works hard and plays even harder. Indulging in the darkest of sins. Breaking the hearts and lives of those who fall for his charms.

But he is bored with life and lackluster ton.

Until a young beauty in the house of pleasure catches his attention. No one will talk of her, which only sparks his curiosity. There is nothing Raymond Ashbee can’t have. And the young beauty will be no exception.

A beauty in hiding.

Life couldn’t have played a crueler joke on May. She is in hiding in the worst place possible—a luxury brothel on Piccadilly. But her number one enemy is not the courtesans and the business of pleasure, that repulses her as much as intrigues her. It’s the powerful lord who weaves his way into her life. A few encounters and he already has her under his spell. When a tragedy strikes, May has no one to turn to. She should have never come to Lord Raymond Ashbee for help. But extraordinary times call for extraordinary actions.

Even if that means agreeing to the most shameless proposal.

Forbidden love.

A scandalous deal is made. It’s just another game, or so Raymond Ashbee thinks until his curiosity turns into an obsession and passion grows into a blaze.

Underneath the shy beauty is the woman full of wit and fire.

The woman who will take his breath away.

Who will make his heart race.

Whose identity will turn his world upside down . . .
