    About this ebook

    Learn the secrets of the Mistress Matchmaker in the first of this historical romance series from USA Today Bestselling author Jess Michaels

    Lysandra Keates is running out of options. Her father is dead, her mother is destitute and her efforts to find respectable employment have ended in failure. With her small savings bleeding away, she swallows her pride—and her terror—and turns to Vivien Manning, an infamous courtesan, to match her with a wealthy protector.

    For years, Viscount Andrew Callis has lived a monastic existence at his country estate, hardening his body against the snobbish, lazy young man he once was, hardening his heart against grief over the deaths of his wife and unborn son. When Vivien asks him to spend one month training a young woman in the ways of a mistress, his mind resists...but his body responds with an ache he thought long dead.

    As Andrew begins his gentle tutelage, he finds himself falling under the spell of Lysandra's innocent charms. And as they give in to the powerful hunger, the last thing Andrew ever expected, or wanted, forms between them: an emotional connection that could carry them well past the training period—if only Andrew can open his broken heart to the possibility of love.

     

    This book is the first book in the Mistress Matchmaker series.

    Jess Michaels

    Jess Michaels always flips through every romance she buys in search of "the good stuff," so it makes perfect sense that she writes erotic romance where she gets to turn up the heat and let it boil. She also runs the popular website The Passionate Pen and writes historical romance as Jenna Petersen.
