Break the sensual boundaries of Regency England with the bestselling author of The Slightest Provocation. The ribald private life of novelist Countess Marina Wyatt is the stuff of public scandal — and it doesn’t hurt the sale of her romances either. But she’s totally unprepared for her consuming new affair with Jasper James Hedges, noted art appraiser and her former lover’s uncle. In Marina, Jasper sees a work of art of another kind. And for all of Marina’s passionate inventions, nothing can compare to what Jasper delivers — an erotic and dangerous voyage to the edge of impropriety and beyond.
