Once Upon A Courtesan

A brand new series from 10-Time USA Today Bestselling Author Jess Michaels


Arabella Comerford always had too many dreams and desires to ever be happy with the forced

marriage and staid life her cruel father planned for her. She sees her way out when she spies on a

handsome gentleman engaged in elicit activities with a woman at Vauxhall Garden. Ultimately it

leads her to her own path as a celebrated courtesan with freedom and money. But she always

wondered about that man who got away and the startling green eyes that haunt her fantasies.


Silas Windham has been gone from London for nearly six years, after his father’s death caused a

rift between him and the marquess’s legitimate children. Now he’s back thanks to the illness of

his half-brother and unsure what to do next. Until he encounters Arabella at a hell and realizes

she’s the woman who he once caught spying on him in a garden. The one he hasn’t been able to

get out of his mind since.


Long-held memories and desires explode into a passionate affair that can only be temporary for

both of them. But as their passions soften into deeper and deeper connection, it leaves them both

wondering if two wild, broken people might be able to let go of the past and become everything

to each other.


This is the first book in the Comerford Courtesans series.
