Tempting
Hope Tarr

"My Fair Lady" meets "Pretty Woman" in Hope Tarr's Tempting

Simon Belleville should have taken the poor prostitute straight to Newgate Gaol. As the head of Her Majesty's Morality and Vice Commission, he's supposed to be closing down brothels--not consorting with the "ladies" who work in them. But one glimpse of Christine Tremayne's sweet, innocent face, and he is enraptured. Instead of locking her up in a gaol cell, he enrolls her in finishing school--hoping against hope that he will be able to put her out of his mind. Now that he has a chance to win a seat in Parliament, the last thing he wants is a scandal. But the lovely Christine proves to be a woman unlike any other--charming and intelligent, deeply mysterious and deliciously witty. And Simon has never been so intrigued-- or so tempted...
