Second in line, first in love
A secret society of younger sons, sworn to aid and abet each other, no matter the scandal or cost…. Their fathers and brothers may rule the world, but they run it . . . and when it comes to passion, they refuse to accept second best.
Searching for hidden treasure,
finding forbidden fantasy.
London’s most sensual former courtesan, Viola Whedon, is incapable of being seduced-she does the seducing. Until she meets Leonidas Vaughn. Her salacious memoirs have made her the target of half the lords in England, and Vaughn is the only man she can turn to. When he promises to protect her-and to make her beg for his touch-the alluring beauty finds both offers impossible to refuse.
Leonidas Vaughn secretly believes Viola possesses a fortune given to his family by the King of France. So the strong and sexy Vaughn charms his way into Viola’s life . . . and her bed. But when their arrangement is consummated, he’ll experience pleasure far beyond his wildest fantasies-and realize his heart may need the most protection of all.
My thoughts:
This was a pretty good book, not my favorite historical I have read, but still very good.
Leo is a great character. I love that he has mis-matched eyes and is a bit of a rebel. Leo comes from a family who has known many scandals throught out the years. But the adventure he is about to embark on will test everyone in his family.
Viola is a strong female, even though she may not have the most honorable job. At least she can walk down the street and feel good about herself. When two men break into her house everything in Viola life changes.
Leo and Viola go on a great adventure in this story. Not only do they learn to trust and love, but a treasure hunt too.
