Description

When a ruined viscount becomes London’s most sought-after escort and a banking heiress hires him to find her missing sister, desire turns deadly. A sensual, character-driven Regency that marries social commentary with suspense and emotional depth.

When financial ruin forces a viscount into London's most scandalous profession, only a wealthy heiress can save him—but at what cost?

Aubrey, Viscount Wellstone, has lost everything except his title and his charm. Facing crushing debts and a crumbling estate, he accepts the unthinkable: becoming a paid escort for London's overlooked ladies. Enter Ellianne Kane, a sharp-tongued banking heiress whose missing sister has vanished into the city's shadows. She needs Aubrey's aristocratic connections to navigate high society's treacherous waters, but their partnership ignites desires neither expected.

This Regency romance blends mystery, wit, and sizzling tension as two unlikely allies discover that survival sometimes requires breaking every rule. 

As bodies pile up in London's streets and Ellianne's search grows desperate, she and Aubrey must choose between protecting their reputations and following their hearts. But when a killer sets his sights on Ellianne herself, will Aubrey's love be enough to save her? Or will their forbidden attraction destroy them both before they can uncover the truth?
