"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.
