A woman embroiled in a world that only sees her for her profession. A duke who only sees in shades of grey. An attraction powerful enough to change both their lives.
London, 1803. Catherine Davenport is the daughter of a lowly country vicar. Lured to London with the offer of a job in the big city to send wages home to her family, she quickly discovers that this is not the job she thought it was. However, it's too late. With her reputation already in tatters, she becomes one of London's most sought-after courtesans. Absorbed in a life of collecting trinkets and making herself beautiful.
Collin Howard, the Duke of Norfolk, is a war hero, but most people just see him as a dandy. He has a larger-than-life personality and always has a drink in his hand. It is all a facade, however, to hide how much the war left his life in tatters. The flashbacks and memories all haunt him. The war injury aches him. He buries himself in vice to hide away from the pain, yet only sees his life in depressing shades of darkness and grey.
The duke hosts a gentleman's house party, just some cards, drinks, and entertainment with his new group of friends. Little does he know that he is about to choose the entertainment that will become the greatest challenge of his life.
A passionate prequel to For the Love of a Courtesan, this Regency romance short story is a tale of desperation, survival, and finding a place to belong in an unkind world. Featuring a happy-for-now ending and a touch of spice, it is the perfect introduction to Catherine and Collin's love story.
