A wealthy spinster hires an expert in pleasure in this erotic historical by a USA Today–bestselling author who “tests the boundaries of romance fiction” (The Literary Times). Living in Victorian London, thirty-six-year-old spinster Anne Aimes has only attraction: her wealth. Yet her plain looks mask a passionate woman who yearns to know a man's intimate caresses. Michel des Anges is renowned for his ability to bring women pleasure. All it will cost Anne is ten thousand pounds . . . Driven by vengeance, ravaged by tragedy, Michael seeks to lose himself in a woman who will demand only physical pleasure. A woman who won't suspect his own aching needs—or his true motive for accepting her terms. Unable to resist the lure of Anne's guileless desire, he plunges her into a deadly web of deception and revenge where the price of carnal ecstasy is life itself . . .
