Second in line, first in love. A secret society of younger sons, sworn to aid and abet each other, no matter the scandal or cost.... Their fathers and brothers may rule the world, but they run it . . . and when it comes to passion, they refuse to accept second best. Searching for hidden treasure, finding forbidden fantasy. London's most sensual former courtesan, Viola Whedon, is incapable of being seduced-she does the seducing. Until she meets Leonidas Vaughn. Her salacious memoirs have made her the target of half the lords in England, and Vaughn is the only man she can turn to. When he promises to protect her-and to make her beg for his touch-the alluring beauty finds both offers impossible to refuse. Leonidas Vaughn secretly believes Viola possesses a fortune given to his family by the King of France. So the strong and sexy Vaughn charms his way into Viola's life . . . and her bed. But when their arrangement is consummated, he'll experience pleasure far beyond his wildest fantasies-and realize his heart may need the most protection of all.What a fun read! This romance has so much going for it. You have a great guy who doesn't know what he's got himself into and a woman who can go toe to toe with him. I love that in a historical. There's also a fair amount of sub plot as they try to solve the mystery of the hidden treasure. The story is great and the characters are lovely. There are really no detractors from this one. It's an all around enjoyable read.
