Synopsis

Alexandra Hawkins

All Afternoon with a Scandalous Marquess

Simon Jefferes, the Marquess of Sainthill, has done the unthinkable--he's fallen in love. The so-called "Saint" has spent his life gambling, dallying with women, and satisfying his every whim. And he fully intended to continue his wicked ways, until he met the mysterious, exotic, and irresistible Madame Venna--the one woman he can't have...and the only one he's ever wanted for more than an evening.

The proprietress of the Golden Pearl, one of London's most exclusive brothels, Madame Venna takes pride in the lush, decadent club she's created. With a half-mask to conceal her identity, she's careful to safeguard something even more valuable--her heart. But Saint is determined to tear down the walls she's built around herself, and to finally expose the truth--that Madame Venna is a woman very much in love...with him.

From the Back Cover

Sinfully seductive and wildly wicked, the notorious Lords of Vice are

no strangers to desire--or the many pleasures of indulgence...

HE'S NO SAINT

Simon Jefferes, the Marquess of Sainthill, has done the unthinkable--he's fallen in love. The so-called "Saint" has spent his life gambling, dallying with women, and satisfying his every whim. And he fully intended to continue his wicked ways, until he met the mysterious, exotic, and irresistible Madame Venna--the one woman he can't have...and the only one he's ever wanted for more than an evening.

SHE'S NO LADY

The proprietress of the Golden Pearl, one of London's most exclusive brothels, Madame Venna takes pride in the lush, decadent club she's created. With a half-mask to conceal her identity, she's careful to safeguard something even more valuable--her heart. But Saint is determined to tear down the walls she's built around herself, and to finally expose the truth--that Madame Venna is a woman very much in love...with him.

"Romantic and erotic...the Lords of Vice series is hot enough to curl your toes!"

--Celeste Bradley, New York Times bestselling author
