About This Book

The second book in the exciting series by bestselling author Jess Michaels

Popular courtesan Evelina Comerford thought she had her life in order. She had been with her

protector, a powerful duke, for years and believed they would be together forever, even if he was

forced to marry and produce legitimate heirs. And then he broke her heart by walking out of her

with no feeling to be with someone else's wife.


Vaughn is the Earl of Blackburn and he is enduring a scandal to end all scandals. His wife of

three years has not only begun a public affair with a duke he once called friend, but she's

demanding a divorce. He's angry and hurt and he wants a little revenge, which is how he finds

himself on Evelina's door, asking her to pretend to enter an affair with him to make both of their

former loves jealous.


But a fake affair swiftly turns to something more powerfully passionate. And spying and trying

to undermine their former partners begins to lose its shine. But can they both overcome loves

that were never meant to be and recognize the true love that is looking right at them? Or will it

all be too late when they finally figure it out?


This is the second book in The Comerford Courtesans series and can be read as a

standalone.
