Ana Gardner is determined to lose her virginity before her thirtieth birthday. She’s no stranger to fake identities, having posed as a chaperone since the scandal that destroyed her titled family. So she dons a mask, changes into a low-cut red gown, and attends the city’s most elite brothel, the Silver Chalice.
Oliver Bedford, the imposing Earl of Drake, is only at the Silver Chalice to appease his debauched friends—until he spots Lady Scarlet. She’s refreshing...and a complete mystery. Certain she’s a lady in disguise, Oliver is determined to learn her identity, but she eludes him at every turn.
The night with Oliver was unforgettable. But when he arrives at her employer’s home, she’s horrified to discover her lover is the Earl of Drake, the son of the man responsible for her father’s death and subsequent family ruin. And that he’s there to court her young charge.
Oliver never had any interest in the debutante, but he is drawn to her chaperone—a woman he soon realizes is his Lady Scarlet. Now that he’s found her, she claims she wants nothing to do with him, even though her kisses say otherwise. Fortunately, Oliver is not one to give up when he finds something he wants...and he wants Ana. In his bed, and in his life. Forever. But first, he must persuade her to trust him—and to believe that one wild, passionate night can turn into forever.
I absolutely loved this book! I, honestly only picked it up for the cover–but, it turned out to be so much more than I had hoped!
Anahit is an extremely strong woman who has been put through the ringer. Her family’s estate was lost when her father bet it in a gamble with the Earl of Drake’s late father. Since then, Ana has been at the mercy of whomever will hire her as a chaperone.
In an effort to exert some kind of control of her life, Ana visits a brothel in the hope of having one night where she can make a choice all of her own. This is where she meets Oliver. Unbeknownst to her, the connection between the two of them.
What starts as one night, evolves as they both are drawn to each other.
When the truth comes out, they both struggle to come to terms.
The love and passion between these two just sang on the pages. There was no doubt from the beginning that they were meant to be. Regardless of all the obstacles in their way.
I’m greatly looking forward to more in this series.
I can definitely see picking up this book based on that cover because it’s so pretty. But glad to see that it was such a great read. Always looking for amazing HR, so will check this one out here.
