About this ebook

She hired him to give her a child. Falling for him was never part of the plan.

David Graham has always enjoyed the company of women—and becoming a Gentleman Courtesan lets him indulge that pleasure while earning the income he needs to rescue his crumbling country estate. So when he's offered a generous contract from a new client, he accepts without hesitation… until he learns exactly what she wants.

Widowed and finally free from a cruel, controlling husband, Regina Hurst has no interest in romance. What she wants is independence—and a child to call her own. Hiring a professional seems the most discreet and practical way to get it. But she doesn't count on David—his easy charm, relentless persistence, or the way he makes her feel seen for the first time in years.

What begins as a mercenary arrangement slowly transforms. Beneath Regina’s icy exterior lies a deep well of longing—and David, for all his rakish confidence, finds himself aching for more than a transaction.

When their contract ends, Regina must decide if she’s willing to risk her heart again. And David must choose between wealth and the one woman who may be able to tame him for good.

This book is the best in the series so far. Before starting my review, I wanna say I am dying to read Ben 's story now. I have to wait till December. This is not fair. Nevertheless, moving on, David is a good looking, improvised, rake. But he has a good heart as a good hero. He understands his responsibilities towards his parents n sisters. That's why he joined the team of Gentlemen courtesans to earn extra buck by doing what he loves doing. Regina, our female protagonist has had a terrible marriage. She wants a baby to pass of as her husband 's that's why she hires David.both of them had not planned on falling in love. This story was quite similar to another historical romance I had read recently. But with a huge difference of characterisation. Both David n Regina were believable characters with real problems. How they overcome their fears n failures form the story. An enjoyable read. Looking forward to chasing Benedict I received a free copy of this book vi

A twist on the courtesan roll makes this an entertaining read! David and Regina find a strong romance, most unexpected but it cannot be denied! But can she trust him? Very entertaining!

Regency Romance Now, I’m not usually into Regency romances, but I’m a big fan of the way Vanessa Vale does them. I’ve read her Villain series and her Scandalous series, and enjoyed them both thoroughly, so I new I’d like this one, even though I haven’t read any of the other Gentlemen Courtesans. And, naturally, I did! David and Regina’s love affair is so affectionate and just delightful, all you want is for them to be together and happy. And the Epilogue really has me excited for Benedict’s book!
