Works in Progress

The Courtesan's Quest

Thirsting for respectability, Sylvia Boisette, daughter of a Parisian courtesan and an English Duke is horrified when her guardian leaves her in under the protection of his disapproving nephew Christopher Evernden. Sylvia plays the jezebel to shock her unwilling new guardian into letting her go her own way. A dutiful second son, Christopher, has avoided the scandals created by the rest of the Evernden men and is an established business man and gentleman architect. What he won't do is allow Sylvia  to taint his family name. He will ensure she is safely established where she can do no more damage.

Sylvia's father and his henchman have other ideas about Sylvia's future. They will  return her to France and the brothel where she grew up, if Christopher does not intervene.  As she falls for her handsome protector she faces the same fate as her mother.
