Guilty Pleasures: 1 [Mass Market Paperback] Guhrke, Laura Lee

London, 1889. Daphne Wade's upbringing was scandalous — raised by a courtesan aunt in Paris, schooled in art and sensuality instead of propriety. Now she's back in England, determined to make her fortune designing corsets that actually fit women's bodies. Enter Anthony Courtland, the Duke of Tremore, a man so morally rigid he makes marble statues look relaxed. When he discovers Daphne's risqué lingerie shop, he's appalled. When she refuses to be shamed, he's intrigued. What begins as a clash of propriety and passion turns into something far more dangerous — especially when the duke realizes the improper Miss Wade might be exactly what his proper life has been missing. Laura Lee Guhrke delivers Victorian romance with heat, wit, and corsets that do more than just cinch. For readers who like their historical romance with backbone and a healthy dose of steam.
