Sir Jareth de Leybourne is the moral compass of the legendary Guard of Six—a noble knight known for honor, logic, and restraint. But when his wealthy uncle dies, Jareth inherits far more than land and coin. He inherits a scandal that could destroy everything he stands for.
Jareth discovers his uncle's fortune was built on a discreet but wildly profitable enterprise: Aphrodite's Feast, an elegant brothel and gambling hell quietly tolerated for its philanthropy. The business funds churches, education, and charity—but its existence threatens Jareth's reputation as one of England's most honorable knights.
Running Aphrodite's Feast is Lady Desdra le Daire, a brilliant, sharp-tongued woman burdened by secrets of her own. From the moment she and Jareth meet, sparks fly—clashing ideals, forbidden attraction, and undeniable chemistry.
As Jareth struggles to reconcile duty, honor, and inheritance, a deadly truth emerges: his uncle had a powerful enemy who now wants Jareth dead. To save Desdra and protect his honor, Jareth must confront betrayal, corruption, and a love that could cost him everything.
Contains mature themes.
