    About this ebook

    Sir Jason Hunter could not let a young widow fall into
    ruin when he could so easily help. His intentions were
    purely honorable, but then the lady herself surprised
    him with an offer of a carte blanche!



    Helen Marlowe's despicable brother had left her nearly
    penniless, and she knew that becoming Jason's mistress
    was the only practical solution. She told herself the
    decision was made with her head, not her heart, and had
    nothing to do with the way this notorious rake made her
    feelor the look in his eyes that promised such
    heady delights....

    Mary Brendan

    Mary Brendan was always a keen reader of historical romance,  especially the Regency period. She also writes gritty sagas under a different pseudonym.  She was born in north London, lived for a while in Suffolk, and is now back closer to her roots and her adult sons in a village in Hertfordshire. When time permits, she relaxes by browsing junk shops, or by researching family history.
