Reader Review: Another winner for Delilah Marvelle, it is my second book from this author and I will surely will want to read the stories from the three more characters that are left, highly recommended from page one until the last one.
Desperate Times. . .
It's been months since Lady Charlotte Chartwell's philandering husband met his untimely end at the hands of an angry mistress. But as miserable as he made Charlotte in life, his death proves to be an even harsher blow. For not a farthing of his fortune or estate have passed on to her, and as a ruined widow, she is destitute, penniless, and utterly without hope.
Lead To Desperate Pleasures. . .
Then, as Charlotte is considering the worst, a man steps into her carriage. His intentions are quite indecent at first, but the more he learns about her, the more an unfamiliarâ¿¿and undesirableâ¿¿emotion creeps over him. Could it be compassion? Never! For this is Alexander Baxendale, third Earl of Hawksford. He is known throughout the ton as the Lord of Pleasure, dedicated to passion, ruthless in his pursuit of sensual gratification. Yet never in all his exploits has he met a woman who could intrigue him as Charlotte does. Can this mysterious beauty make him hang up his title and see to her pleasure alone?

Lord of Pleasure
Chapter One
Lesson One
'Tis truly a curse to have no coins in your purse. For you lose sight of all pleasure and all means of leisure, which makes life all the more worse. -The School of Gallantry
London, England January 1830
Being a self-respecting lady born of impeccable culture and lineage-at least on her father's side of the family-Lady Charlotte knew all too well that she was not supposed to wink, wave, smile, or nod in the direction of any man as a means of gaining attention. Especially from a hackney. But the pathetic jangling of the few coins that remained in the folds of her ribbon-drawn reticule reminded Charlotte that respectability was not only sorely exaggerated, but outright cumbersome.
Though she had tried these past few months through various means to earn her wage most honorably, it was quite pointless. For it all ended the same. In her dismissal.
As a kitchen maid for a banker, she'd been repeatedly propositioned by his scruffy, pudgy-fingered chef to hitch up her skirts. For better pay. After she had rejected his tasteless advances, he eventually claimed to the mistress of the house that she always burnt the soup, curdled the milk, and evaporated the tea. All of which, of course, was untrue, but all of which, of course, had still led to her dismissal.
As a house maid for a naval captain, she'd been further humiliated and fondled in close quarters by the butler, who was as determined as he was gangly. When she grew rather tired of dodging his eager hands and
