Book excerpt: 1878 ~ Madame Chambon's House of ill Repute is immensely popular with London's wealthiest titled gentlemen but the women who entertain them have their own agendas: to use their wit, beauty and cunning to show these men - and society - their true worth. SAVING GRACE 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 Grace 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. Instead, she gets the greatest surprise of her life. FORSAKING HOPE Honour? Or her heart's desire? Two years ago, Felix Lord Durham believed that Hope, the vicar's beautiful daughter, had chosen to live in Germany as a governess rather than accept the marriage proposal he'd hinted at. Why else would she have failed to appear for their final secret assignation? Why else would Felix be given snippets about her new life on the Continent from various sources? Now the divine "Miss Hope" is in Felix's bed - a surprise gift from his friends designed to lift his spirits and sourced from London's most exclusive brothel, Madame Chambon's. Despite feeling betrayed, Felix can't bear to lose her again, but Hope Merriweather is bound to her new life by a dark secret. Having sacrificed the man she loves once already, she must choose again: Honour or her heart's desire? KEEPING FAITH Revenge is sweet until it breaks your heart. Four years ago, Faith's mysterious benefactress falsely accused her of stealing and deposited her in Madame Chambon's exclusive brothel. There, Faith was to learn how to entrance London's noble gentlemen with her learning in philosophy, politics, and art. Her body was to be saved for the greatest enticement of all: revenge. Faith doesn't care what she has to do. She lives only to fulfill a bargain that will set her free. But when Faith is recruited as the muse of a talented, sensitive painter whose victory in a prestigious art competition turns them both into celebrities overnight, she discovers the reasons behind her mission are very different from what she'd been led to believe. Now she is complicit in something dark and dangerous while riches, adulation and freedom are hers for the taking. But what value are these if her heart has become a slave to the man she is required to destroy? What the Readers are Saying: "The writer was able to get a 7-course meal into a sandwich sized novel. It was exciting and emotional. Sexy and romantic."
