The Master — Vanessa Devereaux

This story is based upon a previous story titled Double Her Pleasure which was part of the Brazen Ladies series published by Cobblestone Press. It's been rewritten and more content has been added.

On her cousin's persuasion, Ava Farnsworth attends a ball where she overhears a group of women talking about Lord Finley who they believe boards carriages, ravishes the women and their steals their jewelry. The man in question is in attendance at the ball and now Ava is intrigued to find out more about him. She's been widowed for close to a year and looking to find a lover who will satisfy her strong sexual appetite.
She sees Lord Finley as the perfect candidate for the job and lets it be known that she will be traveling by carriage to Bath. When a masked man stops her carriage and boards it, she wonders if this is indeed Lord Finley or perhaps the rumors are false.
