Seven Secrets of Seduction

Miranda Chase is well educated but sits outside London society. Like everyone else in the city, she has read an erotic book that has the ton talking. She sees more in it than its scandalous reputation suggests, and she writes an editorial about it.

She does not expect the editorial to bring anyone to her uncle's bookshop, least of all a viscount. Maximilian, Viscount Downing, believes truth shows itself only in desire. He makes no secret of his sensual power, and he wants one more conquest, one that could justify his debauched way of living.

Miranda is the target of that seduction, but her innocence, her trust and her capacity for love do not behave as his plan requires. Something unexpected starts to happen, and it threatens the jaded heart he has kept guarded for years.

This is a historical romance set among the London ton, built around a rake and a bookish woman who is not part of his world. The tone is sensual and provocative, and the story turns on a seducer who may be the one undone.
