Book excerpt: 1878 ~ The girls at Madame Chambon’s high-class House of Assignation offer beauty, wit, and companionship to London’s wealthy and titled gentlemen. It's all too easy to fall from grace in Victorian London. Madame Chambon’s House of Assignation might not be for the respectable but it does offer a second chance at love. SAVING GRACE 'Pretty Woman' set in Victorian London. Grace Fortune is one of Madame Chambon's most sought-after escorts. But as Grace prepares for her next job as the special initiation 'gift' procured by a mother in fashionable Mayfair for her son's twenty-first birthday, she has planned a diversion of a different kind. One that will give her satisfaction for the wrongs that plunged her into this hated life. However, when Grace crosses the threshold of the address where she once served in a very different capacity, nothing goes as expected. FORSAKING HOPE Two years ago, Felix Lord Durham believed that Hope, the vicar's beautiful daughter, had chosen to live in Germany as a governess rather than accept the marriage proposal he'd hinted at. Now the divine "Miss Hope" is in Felix's bed - a surprise gift from his friends designed to lift his spirits and sourced from London's most exclusive brothel, Madame Chambon's. Despite feeling betrayed, Felix can't bear to lose her again, but Hope Merriweather is bound to her new life by a dark secret. Having sacrificed the man she loves once already, she must choose again: Honour or her heart's desire? KEEPING FAITH Revenge is sweet until it breaks your heart. Four years ago, Faith's mysterious benefactress falsely accused her of stealing and deposited her in Madame Chambon's exclusive brothel. There, Faith was to learn how to entrance London's noble gentlemen with her learning in philosophy, politics, and art. Her body was to be saved for the greatest enticement of all: revenge. WEDDING VIOLET When Max, Lord Belvedere, is abandoned at the altar, he believes his dreams have come true! All that’s needed to secure his freedom is to reassure his ailing Aunt Euphemia that he really is serious about finding a bride. Wrapped up in the delightfully diverting arms of Violet Lilywhite while visiting London’s most prestigious House of Assignation, Max hits upon the perfect plan. A pretend wedding to a ‘penniless shop girl’ should fulfill Aunt Euphemia’s romantic dreams without losing him his newfound liberty. CHRISTMAS CHARITY Reluctant courtesan, Charity, has found true love with Hugo, her first and only client. But when poet and artist, Hugo, is tricked into gambling away his impending inheritance, Charity finds herself at the mercy of Madam Chambon and her infamous house of ill-repute. A sweet Romeo and Juliet romance featuring two young people determined to overcome those more powerful who would keep them apart. LOVING LILY Lies brought them together. Truth drove them apart. Love made them whole. When beautiful Lily, Lady Bradden, is abducted and forced to 'summon the spirits' of a nobleman's deceased daughter whom she closely resembles, enigmatic newspaper editor Hamish McTavish vows to expose her as a fraud. But as he unravels the mystery shrouding the new sensation gripping London, an incendiary passion ignites between them. As shadowy dangers close in, Hamish must uncover who poses the greatest threat to Lily and why she is their target before history repeats itself in death. Drawn deeper into a web of secrets, he faces a choice: maintain his principles or protect the woman who has captivated his guarded heart.
