About this ebook
London, 1878
Welcome to Madame Chambon’s!
Within this lavish London townhouse, a host of beautiful, intelligent women cater to the desires of princes, potentates and noblemen.

And to find a happy-ever-after on their terms.
Saving Grace is Book One
At seventeen, Grace thought she'd found love and a future with the sensitive son of the household in which she was employed.
But when David went to university, a terrible thing happened...
Three years later, as Grace prepares for her next job, she learns she is the special initiation 'gift' procured by a mother in fashionable Mayfair for her son's twenty-first birthday.
Grace, however, plans a 'celebration' of a different kind.
One that will give her satisfaction for the wrongs that plunged her into this hated life.
But when Grace crosses the threshold of the address where she once served in a very different capacity, her quest for revenge takes a very different turn.
A story of courage and redemption with an unexpected ending.
