To Tempt a Hellion

A MAN MOVED BY WANTS... As one of London’s infamous Hellion, Michael Tinsley, 9th Earl of Lancaster, was a consummate womanizer and rake. His life was driven by idle pursuits.

Wanting a mistress for the diversions she would provide of countering the tedium of his country estate. A WOMAN IN NEED... Calliope Marshall, although strong-willed, had little options open to her. Upon her father’s death, Calliope’s world upturned, leaving her with insurmountable debts and being caregiver of two younger siblings. All her efforts of procuring gainful employment proved futile. The only course of action presented to her – propositioning Michael Tinsley, Earl of Lancaster, to become his mistress. Though she agreed to be his mistress, she would not bend to his every whim. In her, he would find a match to counter his hellion ways. PASSIONS FLARED... DESIRES IGNITE...
