The Raven Prince: Number 1 in series

In the vein of Stephanie Laurens and Mary Balogh, THE RAVEN PRINCE is the very spicy tale of a widow, an Earl and the most scandalous brothel in London.

There comes a time in a woman's life when she must do the unthinkable - and find employment. For the widowed Anna Wren, it is the bold step of taking employment as a female secretary for the Earl of Swartingham. Secretaries are always male - never female - and no one knows that better than Anna. But the real downfall of her career is the unfortunate realization that she is falling in love with Edward de Raaf - the Earl. But when she realizes that he is going to visit a brothel in London to take care of his 'manly' desires, Anna sees red - and decides to take advantage of the opportunity to also take care of her 'womanly' desires - with the Earl as her unknowing lover.

But the Earl has another reason for going to London. He is formalizing his betrothal and trying (with little success) to forget about a secretary that has no right being female. Unhandsome, he knows that no woman wants him. Except for the mysterious lady with whom he spent unforgettable nights at Aphrodite's Grotto, the most scandalous brothel in London.
