One of Mary Balogh's most controversial books, the heroine Priscilla Wentworth is a gently-bred lady who is now a prostitute. Sir Gerald Stapleton is so far from a typical romance hero it's almost surprising. But they're perfect for each other, both with their troubled pasts and their quiet personalities. Quite a different love story, nothing ordinary about it. Marvelously written. You see Sir Gerald in "The Ideal Wife," and both characters again in "A Christmas Bride."
