HE PUT HER ON A PEDESTAL...
When Celeste Gray arrives in the sleepy village of Brixcombe-on-the-Bay, she thinks she's one step closer to leaving her notorious past behind. She even suspects the deliciously handsome—if somewhat stuffy—viscount next door is developing a tendre for her. That is, until the day Ashlin Lancester learns she's not the unassuming spinster she's pretending to be.
NOW SHE HAS FARTHER TO FALL
After a decade of proving he is nothing like his profligate father, Ash is horrified to have given his heart to a Cyprian. He launches a campaign to prove his attraction is nothing more than a sordid reaction he can't control. But he soon learns that unlike his father, he can't find comfort in the arms of just any woman. He needs Celeste. When he takes her as his mistress, he's still not satisfied, and the many late nights in her arms only make him want more...

Great

💋💋
I felt so emotional reading this book .
It was a story of Ashlin Lancester, a big brother trying to bring his two younger sisters up and enter them into society ,to get them married.
They have other plans however and really give him a run for his money .
Notwithstanding these problems he tries to keep body and soul together in the shadow of his family’s Ruin ,due to the actions of his parents.
Enter the delectable Celeste , a Cyprus, a woman who has never really known love or the touch of a man who wants her for anything other than her body .
She moves into a small cottage with her very pregnant friend and there meets Ash for the first time.
The two spark immediately, she trying to keep from him her past and he not sure but suspecting anyway .
The two characters really made me think , of how hard the lives of the Cyprians must have been , a living , not always of their choice but maybe of necessity.
And Ash struggling to accept the inevitable when he discovers the truth .
This is a wonderfully grounding book , it really makes you glad for the things you have , and I loved it so much .
Emma made me think and feel and cry ,
The fact this book drew these emotions from me shows how good it is .
