Lady Phoebe Fairchild is well aware that the ton would be appalled to
learn of a young lady of quality involved in a trade. Therefore, she
resorts to selling her beautiful handmade gowns under a fictitious name:
Madame Dupree. So when circumstances force her to visit the estate of
William Darby, the Viscount of Summerfield, to design ball gowns for his
sisters, she assumes Madame's identity. Phoebe's discomfort in her new
position as hired help is nothing compared to her visceral attraction to
the viscount himself. Heathenishly handsome and shamelessly seductive,
Will invites her to be his mistress--and Phoebe is shockingly tempted to
accept. But as their desire for each other grows and the risk of
exposure becomes even greater, Phoebe is in dire danger of losing her
reputation, her livelihood--and her chance of becoming the bride of the
man whose passion has claimed her forever.
