Rules of Passion

Read Rules of Passion Storyline:

“A Courtesan
needs to be practical and clever and cold-hearted. There is nothing of romance
in it, or if there is, then it is very fleeting and must be suppressed.” Madame Aphrodite.

The boldest, most unconventional of the
three Greentree sisters, Marietta believes her best course would be to emulate
her natural mother, the notorious courtesan Madame Aphrodite. Being woefully
unschooled in the ways of passion, however, Marietta, at Aphrodite’s
insistence, must first prove herself by properly seducing one man: Max Valland,
the moody, disgraced, and disinherited former Lord Roseby.

With his life and reputation already in
tatters, Max is most willing to help the exquisite young minx practice her
chosen craft—though he is surprised at the depth of his desire…and by her most
unprofessional tenderness. But Marietta’s plans are threatened by the dangerous
mysteries swirling around this disarmingly sensual gentleman..and by a heart
that urges her to break the courtesan’s cardinal rule: never all in love.
