Always the Mistress (Never the Bride Book 11)

Miss Emma Tilbury is notorious, and that's just the way she likes it. As mistress to the rich and famous, she's never short of cash or invitations - but after reaching thirty, a shock rejection makes her think again. Perhaps it's time to look for another protector.

Abraham Fitzclarence - Fitz to his friends - believes in love and has had his eye for years on Miss Emma Tilbury. Forbidden fruit, delectable and sweet, he’s astonished when she takes a shine to him - and his heart is quickly lost despite all his attempts to remain aloof.

Emma needs a protector but Fitz intrigues her. Perhaps this is a man she could truly care for - as long as she doesn’t lose her heart. She's determined to keep their relationship just business. He's ready to leave all that behind her. There's no end of pleasure at night but in the morning there's nothing but disappointment.

Will Emma open her heart - and could Fitz be the one to do so? Or will her past follow her and prevent a happily ever after?

This full length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order.
