About the book
The perfect plan starts with the perfect seduction... In this sizzling tale of irresistible temptation, when business mixes with pleasure, the product is wickedly delightful... A canny, successful businesswoman, Miss Jane Middleton goes to London in search of a husband—only to find herself virtually ignored by the ton. When she overhears the notorious rake, "Hellion" Caulfield, admit he is in dire straits, Jane concocts a daring business proposition: she'll pay Hellion to strike up a flirtation with her, thus bringing her to Society's notice and attracting eligible gentlemen. The last thing she expects to find is that a deliciously skillful seduction is part of the package... Handsome and charming, the undisputed toast of the ton, Hellion has easily eluded the marriage trap for years, all the while warming the beds of countless attractive and willing women. But when Jane bursts into his life with her outrageous scheme, her provocative figure, and a pair of captivating blue eyes, Hellion is stunned to realize that his jaded interest is piqued—and his desire ignited. In fact, his pursuit of her feels all too real. Is it possible that the ultimate bachelor has finally found his match between the sheets—and beyond?
