About this ebook

Grace Fortune trusts no one after she was betrayed by the man she once loved.

Now, she's the most popular Cyprian at Madame Chambon's high-class London House of Assignation, consort of aristocrats and princes.

As Faith prepares for her next job as the special initiation ‘gift’ procured by a mother in fashionable Mayfair for her son’s twenty-first birthday, she plans her revenge.

But revenge is a dish best left uneaten if the truth is not what's being served.

Heartfelt, sizzling and with a note of redemption that'll please even the cynics.

Ratings and reviews

Great read, it reflects the dark side of the victorian era blazes to life as a caring competent heroine, in love is betrayed & then blackmailed. The romance is raw, edgy and explosive. Finally through adversity makes the triuumph of love deeply satisfying.

Circumstances have forced Grace to work as a prostitiute. Her madam sends her on a housecall which will change her life. I've read several of Beverley Oakley's novels, but this is one of the best. It's a very well done short story that is nicely wrapped up in the end. Nicely paced with surprises for Grace and the reader revealed bit by bit. There is explicit sex so if you don't like to read that, don't read this.

Very engaging story that had an unexpected ending. Sometimes the truth has a way of winning. David and David had suffered more than most for their love. It had a very fitting ending.
