Left penniless after her parents' death, Kelsey Langton must resort to drastic measures in order to safeguard the honor and future of her young sister Jean. So Kelsey enters the infamous House of Eros to be sold at auction, resigned to becoming a gentleman's plaything. The highest bidder is Lord Derek Malory, a dashing rakeshell from a family of charming rogues, who rescues her from an unscrupulous sadist. Lord Derek never expected he would be leaving the house of ill repute with a new mistress, especially one as graceful, sensuous, and spirited as Kelsey. And he never dreamed he would fall in love with her.
