Rules of Passion by Sara Bennett

Rules of Passion by Sara Bennett

The boldest, most unconventional of the three Greentree sisters, Marietta believes her best course would be to emulate her natural mother, the notorious courtesan Madame Aphrodite. Being woefully unschooled in the ways of passion, however, Marietta, at Aphrodite's insistence, must first prove herself by properly seducing one man: Max Valland, the moody, disgraced, anddisinherited former Lord Roseby.

With his life and reputation already in tatters, Max is most willing to help the exquisite young minx practice her chosen craft--though he is surprised at the depth of his desire . . . and by her most unprofessional tenderness. But Marietta's plans are threatened by the dangerous mysteries swirling around this disarmingly sensual gentleman . . . and by a heart that urges her to break the courtesan's cardinal rule: never fall in love.

Sara Bennett has always been fascinated with history, and she turned to writing historical romance to get through a series of mind-numbing professions. She lives in an ancient house in Victoria, Australia, with her husband and too many animals to mention, where she attempts to keep the house and garden immaculate but rarely succeeds--she'd rather be writing or reading.
