My rating: 5 of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ana Gardner has been a lady's companion ever since her father gambled away the family estate. The scandal forced her to change her name so she could seek employment. She is determined to lose her virginity before her thirtieth birthday, so she makes an arrangement with the city's most elite brothel. She poses as Lady Scarlet, wearing a low-cut red gown and a mask to conceal her identity.
Oliver Bedford, the Earl of Drake, is only at the Silver Chalice to appease the friends her inherited from his deceased brother. Mostly keeping to himself he's ready to make his way out of there when he sees Lady Scarlet. She is beautiful and a bit of a mystery. So it doesn't take too much to get him to spend the night with her.
Their night together was unforgettable.
When her employer announces that Lady Penelope will be accompanied to Hyde Park by the Earl of Drake, the son of the man responsible for the death of Ana's father and her family's ruin. So just never expected that man to be Oliver.
But Oliver has no interest in the young woman. He's only there to appease his grandmother and he wants to know why the young debutante's chaperone is glaring at him. When he realizes that this woman is Lady Scarlet, he must find a way to keep her in his life. Even though Ana wants nothing to do with him.
Thanks so much to Entangled, the author and NetGalley for this ARC to review.
