Publisher Description
Susannah Fletcher has everything a young lady could desire: wealth, the attentions of well-to-do duke, and a reputation as spotless as an angel’s petticoats. Yet, she would throw it all away for one opportunity to perform her music on stage–scandalous as that may be. Which is precisely when the rich and menacing “Wolf of Mayfair” makes her an offer she couldn’t possibly refuse…
Born on the streets of London, Rafe Winters knows only ruthless ambition. But he’s missing one thing: respectability. It’s within reach…if he can draw the polished aristocrats to his establishment with a classically trained musician, and just a soupçon of mystery—like the flame-haired Susannah. Of course, he’ll have to make it worth her while. After all, he’s not a complete beast.
Now Susannah performs in a red cloak as the enigmatic “Red Duchess,” and all of London is entranced—along with Rafe. He promised her he’d do everything to protect her reputation on stage. But off-stage, the wolf is waiting for Susannah to stray from the path and into his arms. No matter the risk…

Chasing their Dreams
Susannah has been brought up in Society. She has what every debutant strives for, a duke whose attention is all hers. Her mother is thrilled. Susannah, not so much. She is a talented pianist and has dreams of touring the world and playing packed concert halls. On a scandalous adventure with her best friend, she meets Rafe, the Wolf of Mayfair, at his club. He and Susannah enter a business proposition. She plays for a month in the club, and he pays her enough money for the freedom to pursue her dream. Will they accomplish their goals? Will things change when they realize they have fallen in love? This an entertaining story with likable characters (well, everyone except Susannah’s mother), humor, a bit of angst and drama, snarky banter, an almost duel, a fairy tale romance, and a happy ending for the Red Duchess and the Wolf.
