Reader Review: I felt like I wanted to strangle Victoria due to her lack of common sense. She drove me up the wall with her insecurities and stupidity, in contrast with Blake's patience and continuing trust towards her.
A Woman With A Secret
Victoria Ashton has intelligence and ambition--qualities of little value to most marriage-minded gentlemen of the ton. Her own father has no idea of Victoria's hidden life as an anonymous trader in London's stock market. But her hopes of independence are shattered when her father's enemy, Blake Mallorey, assumes Charles Ashton's debts and presents Victoria with a stark choice: live with him as his mistress for one year, or condemn her family to bankruptcy.
A Gentleman With Resolve
For years Blake has dreamed of justice, and his scheme becomes all the sweeter when he sees the beauty that Victoria has become. Scoundrel he may be, but Blake will not force anyone into his bed. He intends to entice Victoria, one wicked kiss at a time. But with a woman as spirited and sensual as Victoria, seduction works both waysâ¿¿and a plan rooted in revenge can blossom into a scandalous passion. . .

Lady of Scandal
Chapter One
London, April 1812
"Rumor has it he's returned from the dead."
Victoria Ashton frowned at the young woman by her side. Jane Middleton, a robust debutante in her fourth Season, was a notorious gossip.
Victoria remained silent, her eyes scanning Almack's crowded ballroom.
"I've also heard he has amassed a fortune and is quite handsome as well," Jane said. "Why, all the mamas of the ton are throwing their daughters before him!"
Victoria feigned interest and nodded at Jane's comments. Shifting to the side, Victoria peered around Jane and studied the faces of the couples as they danced past on the full floor.
Her eyes then wandered to the entrance of one of Almack's gaming rooms. A cold knot formed in her stomach at the thought that Spencer had already gone inside.
Jane stepped in front of Victoria and blocked her view of the card room. Raising her voice an octave, Jane continued, "Blake Mallorey's new country home is so extravagant that the Regent himself visited to obtain ideas for the next royal residence."
Something about Jane's last statement gained Victoria's attention. "Whose residence did you say?"
"Why, the Prince Regent's new residence."
"No. Whose home did the Regent visit?"
Jane stared at Victoria in confusion.
"Victoria, haven't you heard a word I've said this evening? I'm speaking of Blake Mallorey's-although I suppose I now should use his proper title, the Earl of Ravenspear-return to Town after ten years. You do recall him and his family?" A sudden chill ran down Victoria's spine.
