The Virgin Courtesan

Penniless and homeless, beautiful Juliana Hearnshaw’s virginity is her most bankable asset, and now the gently-bred young woman must sell herself to a wealthy, elderly patron who will pay handsomely for her company.

But on her way to her first assignation, Juliana falls into the hands of a mysterious highwayman – who makes no secret of his desire for her!

Juliana should be afraid – only somehow she finds herself trusting this dark-eyed rogue. Dare she take a chance and, for one night, experience real passion in his arms?
