The Courtesan's Secret
by Claudia Dain

The Courtesan's Secret Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Second in the "cleverly orchestrated,"( Library Journal) Regencyset series featuring the matchmaking schemes of an infamous ex-courtesan.

On the night of her debut two years ago, Lady Louisa Kirkland fell for the devilish Marquis of Dutton. It's high time, she's decided, that he realized he loves her. Also, there is the matter of Louisa's family pearls, which are in his possession. For both problems, Louisa will need the help of Lady Sophia, an ex-courtesan more clever than all the other ton matrons combined

Review:

"The latest entertaining Edwardian from Dain (The Courtesan's Daughter) aims from the start at putting fiery and beautiful Lady Louisa Kirkland into the right beau's arms. Whether Louisa knows it or not, her companion in friendship since her coming out, Lord Henry Blakesley, is the one for her — not the more delectable marquis of Dutton. Luckily, former courtesan and current countess Lady Sophia Dalby has the perspicacity to perceive that fact. When Lady Louisa comes to Lady Sophia and asks for help landing the marquis, the latter knows just what to do. With some help from a sinful cast of seconds and a few carefully placed red herrings, Sophia arranges all. Frank sexual content, highly amusing repartee and some wickedly attractive open ends round things out. Stephenie Meyer, author of the bestselling Twilight YA series (Eclipse, etc.), makes her adult debut." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
