Edwina considers herself a modern nineteenth-century woman. Unafraid to reach for the coveted prize -- whether money, situation or sating her sexual needs -- she always gets what she wants. So when her utmost desire is to marry the handsome Prince Louie, failure is not an option. Seducing the royal libertine will be easy. Her sexuality has always been her greatest asset, even though her virtue and reputation are precious commodities. The prince takes everything she offers -- then ultimately chooses her sweet stepsister Cynthia instead. Edwina is left scandalized. Without money or allegiances, her future is reduced to ruins.
The Duke of Beaumont is not a fan of Prince Louie, and even less so when he learns the entrancing seductress Edwina De Lorme has foolishly laid her reputation, as well as her body, at the lecher's feet. Never has a woman so boldly captured the duke's attention, or his libido. But will his commitment to her endure a royal scandal?
