Melissa Griffin is quite literally sick and tired. She's the owner of one of London's most exclusive brothels, but her failing health is telling her she can't continue to keep working at her current pace. A relaxing stay in the country is exactly what she needs. Falling for the small town's gorgeous young vicar—a virgin, no less—was never part of her plan. Their love is scandalous, forbidden . . . and everything Melissa never knew she wanted. Denying her feelings is unthinkable. Avoiding devastation when her past inevitably drives them apart? Impossible.

Magnus Stanwyck never resented his vow of celibacy . . . until meeting Melissa. As beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, the mysterious woman captures his heart in a way he never could've anticipated. No matter what stands between them, no matter the cost, he'll do whatever it takes to possess her—heart, body, and soul.

By day, they're opposites who were never supposed to be together. By night, their passion threatens to overtake them. When all is said and done, can Melissa and Magnus overcome the obstacles (and enemies) that stand between them? Or will fate deny them their happily ever after?

Contains mature themes.

The more I read this book the more engrossed in the story I got. Looking forward to reading the other two in the series.

A good read.

This is so close to being soooo good and overall is better than a lot of HR’s. The ending feeling rushed, like there are a couple of chapters missing that got tidied away in the epilogue.

Well worth a listen but…

This book was a first, felt a bit like a daytime drama, that's been turned on it's head. Magnus had me scratching my head wondering, however he eventually got into the swing of things.

A good read, not the normal boy meet girl story, but SML made it work. The narration was okay.
