Publisher Description
From Sabrina Jeffries—New York Times bestselling author of The Study of Seduction and The Art of Sinning—comes a sumptuous tale of a woman whose affection comes at a price...
Though Isobel Lamberton, the widowed Lady Kingsley, is confounded by her dealings with the obstinate Justin Antony, Lord Warbrooke, his commanding presence sparks something deep within her. But such romantic thoughts are for naught. For Justin’s political aspirations always come first. And Isobel’s own secret past could damage both of them permanently.
So when Isobel’s friend talks her into participating in a scandalous auction of masked widows at a gentleman’s club, she reluctantly agrees...and soon begins to relish being an object of desire. But none desire her more than Justin, who recognizes the outspoken Isobel in disguise and sets out to teach her a lesson worth far more than money...

Great fun, I loved it!
A fun short read by Ms. Jeffries.
The two leads do charity work but seem has different opinions and tend to irritate each other just because they secretly find them attractive, so they always seem to be fighting against each other's suggestions, not because it's not a good suggestion but just because who said it first.
Lady Kingsley is a widow, and after talking to her friend, she convinces her to go to a widows auction to find out what she had been missing in her marriage.
Lord Warbrooke had been dragged to club which auctions widows for a night of fun. When he's there though it doesn't take him long to recognize one of the lady's up on the stage even if she's is wearing a mask. He bids high for her....
When she realizes he knows, what will happen? They were getting on so well.
I liked this short story, the development of their relationship was very well worked out.
A good, fast read.
