I have fast become a fan of Jenna Petersen’s books. Her books always make me feel…something. In her book, Lessons from a Courtesan Jenna did such a fantastic job of making me forgive a cheating hero and then in Her Notorious Viscount she made me fall in love with a boxer hero. I was a fan of both stories and am very much looking forward to more books by Jenna Petersen. This book is definitely in my excited to read books!
The cover reminds me of an old school romance novel. Check out the blurb:
The duke always gets exactly what he wants . . .
As the new Duke of Billingham, Simon Crathorne has one main duty to fulfill: find a proper wife and continue his family’s exalted name. But of all the eligible women who have come to his country party, he desires only one. And she may be the most unsuitable bride of all.
Lillian Mayhew is desperate to expose a devastating secret about Simon’s distinguished late father so she can salvage her family’s reputation. Yet from the moment she meets her rakishly handsome host, she begins to question if she can destroy his world so callously. She once wanted nothing more than to destroy his good name—and now she wants nothing more than his kiss.
Caught between vengeance and ecstasy, Simon and Lillian begin a passionate affair. But betrayal lurks behind every stolen touch—and the duke’s shocking past may be his ultimate undoing . . .
Totally curious and totally excited…anyone else going to read this one?
This book is available from Avon. You can pre-order it here.

i loved LOVED lessons from a courtesan too (it sits on my keeper shelf)!! i love romances where hero/heroine already have a history together so that book was just perfect.
JennaP,
You’re welcome, you’ve written some great books so I’m sure I’ll enjoy this one as well!
Michelle,
