Abigail
Vautille grew up in the heart of the London rookeries, toiling as a factory
worker until one tragic night leaves her disfigured and unable to weave. Faced
with starvation or prostitution, she strikes a deal with the man who owns her
father’s gambling debts—if he excuses the debt, for one week, she’ll give him
her body, but not her heart.
Inspector Michael Strickland of the Metropolitan Police has
always led a charmed existence. An unrepentant rake, he buries his problems
under a cocksure exterior. Abigail reminds him that everything can change in an
instant. As he gets to know her, he begins to see one week with her won’t be
enough. He sees the beauty within her, not the beast she believes herself to
be.
Yet Abigail’s scars are more than skin deep. With the end of
their agreement so close, can Michael convince Abigail she’s exactly what he
wants?
