The Rogue’s Hidden Jewel
(London Courtesans Book Three)
Raised in France by her cold, distant father, Adrienne Dauvey has always been sheltered from her mother’s world. But when she’s brought to London, Adrienne learns the shocking truth—Madame Blandine is not a lady of society, but the proprietress of the finest brothel in St. James’s.
Blandine’s vision for her daughter is grand—a future as London’s most sought-after courtesan, a fortune earned, and a legacy passed down. Yet Adrienne longs for love and the right to choose her own destiny.
Wesley Carleson, owner of the most notorious and prestigious gaming hell in St. James’s Street, is accustomed to acquiring whatever he wants—wealth, power, women—but he’s a gambler and a rogue, and Madame Blandine will not sell him the one thing he desires most: Adrienne. Despite the woman’s insistence that Adrienne is not for sale to the likes of him, Wes becomes determined to win her heart, no matter the cost.
In a world where everything has a price, will Adrienne submit to her mother’s ambitions and become the city’s most coveted courtesan? Or will she follow her heart—and Wes—into a life where true love is the only thing that cannot be bought?
