Maison Angelique

Thursday is the day that lights up her week.

Angela found herself in survival mode when her husband deserted her and their child. Angelique was the solution, providing discreet, alluring services to men of substance – one well-heeled client for each day of the week. Of all her clients, it was Mr Thursday who lit up her day, inflaming desire with steamy intensity.

When a kidnap attempt on one of her clients endangers her family, evidence points to the perpetrator being someone close to her. The resulting turmoil forces a change in profession and crystallises her aspirations for the future. She is prepared to fight for what she wants, no matter who stands in her way.

Luke knows it is madness to let someone like Angelique get under his skin. This captivating woman establishes the rules, rules he will live by if that's what it takes. He would be there for her any day of the week. When circumstances change dramatically, he establishes some rules of his own.

Angela's clients continue to impact on her life and her plans, but nobody pulls her strings – except for Mr Thursday. Is it Angela whose favour he seeks, or only Angelique's?
