Her Mysterious Past is the Best Revenge... Only He Can Offer Her a Dazzling Future

Fallon, the Marchioness of Mystery, is a celebrated courtesan with her finger on the pulse of high society. She's adored by men, hated by their wives. No one knows anything about her past, and she plans to keep it that way.

Warrick Fitzhugh will do anything to protect his compatriots in the Foreign Office, including seduce Fallon, who he thinks can lead him to the deadliest crime lord in London. He knows he's putting his life on the line.

To Warrick's shock, Fallon is not who he thinks she is, and the secrets she's keeping are exactly what makes her his heart's desire.

Awesome read

Seriously...

DNF. This is the first of Galan’s books I did not enjoy. I just could not get past the inconsistency in the behaviors of Fallon. She is supposedly strong independent, capable heroine who has to take care of herself but then allows herself to be bullied, intimidated, blackmailed and just generally taken over by the overbearing Warrick. On top of all that, she just can’t control her hormones or resist his “charms” and lets him have his way with her.
