The Sinner

Wearing nothing but a man’s nightshirt, Fleur Monley woke to find herself in the bed of England’s most charming and reckless libertine. But it was a stray gunshot, not passion, that put her at the mercy of a man as infamously handsome as he was famously talented in the arts of love.

Desperately in need of funds, Dante Duclairc could do worse than the “white marriage” proposed by this idealistic beauty too naive to know the danger she was in.
