From the back cover...

She was unlike any woman he's ever met in the ton or the demimonde. But Sir Gerald Stapleton frequented Mrs. Blythe's euphemistically dubbed "finished school" for pure, uncomplicated pleasure-and nothing else. So why was this confirmed bachelor so thoroughly captivated by one woman in particular? Why did he find himself wondering how such a rare jewel of grace, beauty, and refinement as Priss had ended up a courtesan? And when she needed protection, why did Gerald, who's sworn he's never get entangled in affairs of the heart, hasten to set her up as his own pampered mistress to ensure her safety-and have her all to himself?

For Priscilla Wentworth, the path leading to Sir Gerald's bed had been as filled with misfortune as it suddenly seemed charmed. but Priss wouldn't allow herself to believe she'd ever be more to a man like Sir Gerald than a well-cared for object of pleasure. Now, despite Gerald's deep distrust of marriage, neither sandal nor society's censure can keep them apart-only the fear of trusting their hearts.
