A Rake's Redemption
(2021)(The first book in the Secrets of the Pleasure House series)
A Novella by Felicia Greene
Regency London has many churches, but it has many more pleasure houses. Temples to sin and scandal, their perfumed corridors have many stories to tell... and five women, drawn to a particular pleasure house for different reasons and under different circumstances, are destined to find love thanks to its thoroughly bad influence!
Amy Appleby is moral. Raised strictly by her parents and rooted deeply into a life of religious instruction, good works and protest against the moral corruption of the age, she's the purest woman in England - or at least appears to be. Inside, far away from the prying eyes of both parents and friends, there are sentiments growing that excite her as much as they frighten her.
When a series of chance events leads to her venturing inside a pleasure house she had been protesting outside of, she can't help but be enthralled by the opulence and air of sin. But all too quickly there's a case of mistaken identity, and she comes face to face with one of the pleasure house's most famous clients... one of the most handsome men she's ever seen.
Roderick, Marquess Lewell, wasn't planning on a night of pleasure. Jaded by a life of debauchery and growing increasingly bored of it all, he doesn't expect to be so utterly enchanted by the shy courtesan he meets - and certainly doesn't expect to see her in a church a few days later, being referred to as the most moral woman in England. The deception both intrigues and delights him... as does the passion that ignites whenever they touch.
Pleasure is addictive, as is secrecy. But Amy must reconcile the two sides of her life, and Roderick can't play the rake forever. Can they take steps to become better versions of themselves? And will they realise that doing so will be so much easier together rather than apart?
Lose yourself in this deliciously sensual slice of Regency escapism by Felicia Greene, the queen of quick-read romance novellas. With tortured dukes, teasing heroines and attraction that defies all decorum, these brief but beautiful tales will make any spare hour fly by!
This book is the first standalone in the Secrets of the Pleasure House series. If you like misadventures, forbidden attraction and love that defies all odds, you'll love these quick, steamy Regency reads!
