Seduction in Scarlet

A prim and proper widow gives in to her impulses at London's notorious Aphrodite's Club... and fulfils her wildest dream. As an honored widow and close companion to Queen Victoria, Lady Portia Ellerslie is captive to a life of public perfection. But privately, she still longs for the touch of a man. One lonely night, she gives in to her desires, and enlists Madame Aphrodite, the owner of London's most exclusive and erotic bordello, to arrange a wild one-night-only affair. Donning an alluringly dangerous scarlet dress and a veil to mask her identity, Portia arrives at the club ready to surrender to the long-suppressed desires raging inside her. Instead, she's shocked to lock eyes with Marcus Worthorne, the man she dreamed of in her former life as the vicar's daughter. Marcus remembers the very proper Portia but how did she become this mysterious, enticing lady in red? Marcus knows he can fulfill her most wanton fantasies; and he also knows that it will take more than one enchanted, evening; because one night of delight will never be enough for either of them!
