Ana Gardner is determined to lose her virginity before her thirtieth birthday. She's no stranger to fake identities, having posed as a chaperone since the scandal that destroyed her family. So she dons a mask and attends the city's most elite brothel, the Silver Chalice.
Oliver Bedford, the imposing Earl of Drake, is only at the Silver Chalice to appease his friends—until he spots Lady Scarlet. She's refreshing and a complete mystery. Certain she's a lady in disguise, Oliver is determined to learn her identity.
The night with Oliver was unforgettable. But when he arrives at her employer's home, she's horrified to discover her lover is the Earl of Drake, the son of the man responsible for her father's death. And that he's there to court her young charge.
Oliver never had any interest in the debutante, but he is drawn to her chaperone—a woman he realizes is his Lady Scarlet. Now that he's found her, she claims she wants nothing to do with him, even though her kisses say otherwise. Fortunately, Oliver is not one to give up when he finds something he wants. He must persuade her to trust him—and to believe that one passionate night can turn into forever.
