Beautiful Distraction
by Jess Michaels
Can
true love begin with a lie?
It has been a particularly trying day for
Olivia Cranfield. Despite her impeccable manners, stylish clothing and posh
accent, another protector has detected her lowborn status and rejected her out
of hand.
When fellow courtesan Violet invites her to
come to Bath to help with the wicked seduction of the scarred, reclusive Earl
of Windbury, Olivia jumps at the offer, eager for some excitement and a change
of scenery.
The moment Malcolm Graham lays eyes on the
delectable woman lurking in the bathhouse alley, he knows she’s a decoy to keep
him busy while her friend seduces the earl inside. For a moment, he allows her
to play her game…but one touch, and all he can think about is ending the two
years of self-denial he’s endured in the name of friendship.
Instant attraction quickly turns into a
decidedly erotic affair that makes Olivia question all she’s ever known about
passion. But when the truth behind Violet’s assignment comes to light, betrayal
threatens to bring everything they’ve built crashing down around Olivia’s
broken heart.
Product Warnings
This book overlaps with Beauty and the Earl, so some passages
may seem familiar to readers of both. Contains a lady lying for a good cause, a
gentleman as loyal to his friends as he is passionate in the bedchamber, and a
steamy affair that will change them both forever.
