There is improper, there is scandalous… and then there is Madeline Valdan.
To the world, Madeline Valdan is a scandalous courtesan, with society’s most eligible gentlemen at her feet. But no one knows her shocking secret: she has never experienced the most intimate touch of “any” man. So she astonishes the “ton” by telling them the truth . . . and by announcing the auction of her virginity to the highest bidder.
Handsome and disciplined, Gabriel Huntford knows his time is best spent hunting down criminals from the darkest corners of London. As a Bow Street Runner investigating his sister’s death, he has no desire to join London’s strutting peacocks in this competition when there are more important tasks at hand.
Now, his quest leads him to one of Madeline’s “suitors,” so he agrees to help this sinful woman. But what begins as a business arrangement quickly turns into something more . . . and love blooms with a passion neither one expected.

Thanks for a great post and giveaway! Congrats to Anna on the newest release. I love her debut book :)\n\nMy fav is usually the book I’ve just finished reading so it was An Affair With Mr. Kennedy 🙂
A historical romance I really enjoyed is My Lord and Spymaster by Joanna Bourne. I like historicals with a bit of mystery in them. It’s interesting to see how mysteries and murders are solved in the past, and Bow Street Runners who do them.
Ok, seriously, I’m a sucker for historical romance, especially Avon’s.\nThis sounds FUN *runs off to Kindle store to look*
