(2021)(A book in the Fair Cyprians of London series)
An omnibus of novels by Beverley Oakley
1878 ~ Madame Chambon's House of ill Repute is popular with London's wealthiest and titled gentlemen but the women who entertain them have their own agendas: to use their wit, beauty and cunning to show these men - and society - their true worth and to achieve happiness on their terms.
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 is 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
Kidnapped from the lunatic asylum in Brussels where she was despatched by her husband two years earlier, Lily, Lady Bradden, has more at stake than just proving her sanity.
With no friends or support, her survival depends upon pleasing her abductor with her success at “communicating with the dead” at Mrs Moore’s Wednesday seances.
While Lily’s strong resemblance to the deceased daughter of a nobleman draws the crowds, the attendance of several murder suspects at her séances garners the interest of principled newspaper editor, Hamish McTavish.
Is the mysterious and enigmatic beauty complicit in the scam?
Hamish’s sizzling attraction to her complicates his investigation while her hot and cold responses to him undermine his trust.
As intrigue and deceit embroil Lily, she fears she is destined to be the next murder victim.
But just as she is ready to reveal her heart to Hamish, Lily realises she has been set up to appear the villain in his eyes.
