"A beautiful story... and the ending was perfection." Maria - 5* Goodreads Review

"Excellent book to curl up with and enjoy. What a way to start a new series." Rose - 5* Goodreads Review

"Why not have a short dalliance with me? In the cold desert of my spinsterhood, I assure you I will not treasure my virtue half as much as the memories of sensual pleasures with you." 

Life has not been kind to Charlotte Harding. Orphaned, impoverished and plain-looking, she depends on the charity of relatives who take her in when she has nowhere else to go. In their London home, she meets the rich and handsome Viscount Stanton who is promised to the beautiful heiress, Miss Powell. Charlotte is smitten with him on first sight, but the Viscount barely notices her except to note her unprepossessing looks and shabby dress.

One night at a society ball, Charlotte accidentally witnesses a secret tryst between the viscount and his mistress - and is unfortunately discovered. Her silence is bought with an unforgettable kiss that leaves Charlotte yearning for more. So when she learns that the viscount has ended his relationship with his mistress, Charlotte seizes the opportunity to make him a scandalous offer - a short, discreet affair in return for memories to treasure in her spinsterhood.

Author's note: The Viscount's Scandalous Affair is a historical romance written in a homage to Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, with a dose of spice. It features an illicit affair between two unlikely lovers whose emotional and bumpy journey into love ends in a happily ever after.

"Would absolutely give this story more than 5 star rating if I could... This author keeps you spellbound with her writing, just can't say enough about this book, the series and her." Rose S - Goodreads Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“No, no, we cannot marry. That is absurd.”

Grace Stanton is beautiful, vivacious and no innocent when it comes to men. Her carefree, happy life is disrupted when her family is summoned to the bedside of her grandfather, the dying Earl of Stanton, in England. There, circumstances force her into a marriage with the last person she ever thought to marry—Benedict Sedgwick, the newly appointed parish curate who wears threadbare clothes and blushes in the presence of women.

For Benedict, it is infatuation at first sight when he meets Grace Stanton, but he knows that the wealthy beauty is well out of his reach. That is until one day, she comes knocking at his door asking for help, and he cannot help but propose marriage as a way out of her dilemma.

Can a poor, inexperienced and ordinary looking curate win Grace’s heart when she yearns for a dashing man of the world, someone like her new neighbour, the handsome Mr Templeton?

Author’s note: This is a sweet, steamy and dramatic historical romance set in Victorian England featuring a marriage of convenience between two unlikely characters, a beautiful vixen and a virtuous clergyman, who nevertheless find themselves falling in love.
