BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Mary Balogh's The Secret Mistress. New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh weaves a sensuous spell of romance that brings together the unlikeliest pair of lovers in the unlikeliest place of all'€“ an infamous London house of pleasure. She was unlike any woman he'€™d ever met in the ton or the demimonde. But Sir Gerald Stapleton frequented Mrs. Blyth'€™s euphemistically dubbed '€œfinishing school'€ for pure, uncomplicated pleasure'€“and nothing else. So why was this confirmed bachelor so thoroughly captivated by one woman in particular? Why did he find himself wondering how such a rare jewel of grace, beauty, and refinement as Priss had ended up a courtesan? And when she needed protection, why did Gerald, who'€™d sworn he'€™d never get entangled in affairs of the heart, hasten to set her up as his own pampered mistress to ensure her safety'€“and have her all to himself? For Priscilla Wentworth, the path leading to Sir Gerald'€™s bed had been as filled with misfortune as it suddenly seemed charmed. But Priss couldn'€™t allow herself to believe she'€™d ever be more to a man like Sir Gerald than a well-cared-for object of pleasure. Now, despite Gerald'€™s deep distrust of marriage, neither scandal nor society'€™s censure can keep them apart'€“only the fear of trusting their hearts.
