“…deliciously flawed characters, sizzling chemistry, and a delightful journey.” ~Chrissy Burns
With her father cast from society as a liar and a thief, the ensuing scandal renders Lady Helaine unfit for marriage. Desperate to provide for herself and her mother, she adopts an assumed name and runs a dressmaker’s shop specializing in bridal wear for ladies of high society. Helaine is happiest immersed in silk and satin but lives in terror that her true identity will be discovered and she will lose everything…again.
When Robert Percy, Viscount Redhill, encounters the mysterious Helaine he is entranced and sets out to weave a web of seduction sure to ensnare. Then he learns, too late, the heartbreaking truth of her sullied past.
Now to claim Helaine as his own, he must find a way to overcome the past. But what chance has love when a secret mistress becomes a scandalous wife?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lee's diverting historical suggests that while scandal may strip one of one's title, breeding will out. Seamstress Mrs. Mortimer, aka Lady Helaine Talbott, has enough spunk and pure sex appeal to turn the head of Robert Percy, Viscount Redhill. Robert knows nothing of the tradeswoman's family shame, but he recognizes class when he sees it; harder for him to accept is that a lady could have the wits or sense for business, much less love being a shopkeeper. Charming verbal fencing ensues, and Helaine matches Robert clever retort for clever retort. Soon it becomes clear that they're meant for each other, but a marriage would be socially unacceptable, and Helaine fears her only choice is to become Robert's mistress. The entertaining read is only slightly marred by a somewhat contrived ending.
