Welcome to the Ball of Sin series, featuring four steamy novellas set at a decadent annual masquerade ball in Victorian England. Rumors suggest that every year, a secret matchmaker encourages one couple to realize that their night of fun and vice is the beginning of a happily ever after. Meet the next couple:
The Honorable Douglas Monroe, the Crown’s most adored diplomat, finds himself at a crossroads. At thirty-two, he is poised to become the youngest British ambassador, or so he thought, but then he is offered a different assignment. He agrees to stay in London for another month to learn about this new role, but deep down, his heart is set on going abroad, and nothing will change that. But then his path crosses with Lady Judith Devroe at the Ball of Sin. She is wildly out of place in the den of vice, but Douglas is intrigued and tempted by her.
Lady Judith, an innocent, should not be at the notorious ball, but she must speak with Monroe. She is determined to establish a lending library in Devil’s Acre and needs the diplomat’s assistance. She finally finds him alone at one of the secluded cottages used for interludes. He is shocked by her request but, to her surprise, agrees to help, telling her he is impressed with her determination.
Alone together in a place made for sin, attraction thrums between them, prompting Judith to make a shocking request. One that Douglas finds too tempting to resist. They both agree it can only be one night, but afterward, they can’t seem to stop themselves from seeking each other out. With every moment spent together, their attraction and feelings grow. As much as they try to resist, their hearts start to wonder if two people on drastically different paths can somehow be together. And if so, what will they have to sacrifice?
*A steamy Victorian romance novella.
