Welcome to the Ball of Sin series, featuring four steamy novellas set at a decadent annual masquerade ball in Victorian England. Rumors suggest that every year, a secret matchmaker encourages one couple to realize that their night of fun and vice is the beginning of a happily ever after. Meet the next couple:
American Caleb Monteith finds himself in England with the title of Marquess of Haven bestowed upon him—something he never wanted, but unfortunately, his uncle never sired any children. His father, the previous marquess’s brother, left England decades ago when he dared to fall in love with Caleb’s mother, a maid. His mother is adamant that they will show all of London society that they deserve their place among the lords and ladies. Her first goal for Caleb is to find a bride. He doesn’t really have much interest until he meets an intriguing independent woman at a house party. The only problem is that the lady who has caught his interest doesn’t care much for lords.
Celeste Hathaway is part-owner of one of London's most decadent gentlemen’s clubs. She works hard to make sure that the place is second to none. Unfortunately, her two partners in the business seem to think she is overworked. They have decided that instead of Celeste planning the club’s next scandalous ball, they will take over the preparations. She can only participate as an attendee. She isn’t happy about it and becomes more annoyed when they insist she attend a proper house party. Much to her surprise, she meets an American who catches her interest. Unfortunately, he has just become the next Marquess of Haven. Celeste doesn’t involve herself with gentlemen, ever. She learned a long time ago that they only cause heartache.
Still, Caleb and Celeste both find themselves attending the Ball of Sin. When they see each other, their initial attraction only becomes more intense. Will two strangers discover that something they never wanted may be precisely what they need?
*A steamy Victorian romance novella.
