He sought freedom. She craved escape. Neither expected to find salvation in each other's arms...

When Max, Lord Belvedere, is jilted at the altar before London's elite, his initial relief quickly turns to exasperation when his ailing aunt demands proof of his commitment to finding true love. His carefully laid plans for independence seem destined for ruin -- until a chance encounter at Madame Chambon's exclusive establishment brings the enchanting Violet Lilywhite into his path.

With her violet eyes and alabaster skin, the bewitching courtesan ignites an idea as scandalous as it is perfect: a false engagement to satisfy his aunt's dying wish without sacrificing his dreams of liberty. For Max, it's merely a convenient arrangement -- a temporary charade before he departs for new horizons.

Violet Lilywhite sees in Lord Belvedere's proposition her long-awaited chance to escape Madame Chambon's gilded cage. Playing the role of a modest shop girl for the devastatingly handsome aristocrat seems simple enough -- after all, she's expert at becoming whatever men desire. Yet as she steps into the glittering world of the ton at Max's side, she finds herself longing for a fantasy she knows cannot be hers.

What begins as a scandalous bargain soon blazes into an all-consuming passion neither expected. In the shadowed corners of ballrooms and the intimate quiet of shared carriages, their pretense gradually gives way to genuine emotion. Now Max must choose between his long-held dreams of freedom in distant lands and the increasingly irresistible pull of the woman who has claimed his heart. Meanwhile, Violet dares to hope that the secrets of her past don't condemn her to a future without the only man she has ever truly loved.

In this passionate fourth volume of "Fair Cyprians of London," discover a sizzling tale of feigned affection that transforms into the most authentic of loves -- proving that sometimes the most exquisite romances begin with the most elaborate deceptions.
