A Touch Wicked (Private Arrangements #1)

Remember to bring your mask, for this is a masquerade unlike any other…

He's London's most eligible bachelor
James Grey, the Earl of Kent, is at the top of every debutante's list for marriage. He's handsome, titled, and rich as Croesus. James knows his bachelorhood will soon come to an end, so when an invitation to the Masquerade -- an illicit club where members carry on sexual affairs in complete anonymity -- arrives on his doorstep, it seems like an unexpected gift: A last chance to revel in hedonism. But when he meets the mysterious Selene, he gets more than he bargained for.

She's keeping a secret identity
Emma Dumont is a commoner. An illegitimate nobody with desires far too lofty for her station - including a yearning for James Grey, who also happens to be her employer. When she overhears his plans to attend the Masquerade, she decides to act: attend under the guise of a lady, seduce him, and spend one night in his arms.

The arrangement is supposed to be straightforward: anonymous lovemaking, strictly no attachments. But matters of the heart are a lot more complicated . . .

A Touch Wicked is the first novella in the Private Arrangements series.
