Forsaking Hope: Fair Cyprians of London, #2

By Beverley Oakley

Two years ago, she missed their secret assignation and disappeared without a trace.

Now the divine "Miss Hope" is in Felix Durham’s bed - a gift to lift his spirits, sourced by friends from London's most exclusive brothel.

Felix can't lose her again, but Hope Merriweather is bound to her new life by dark secrets and a twisted code.

Having sacrificed everything, she must choose again: Honour or her heart's desire?

Only, this time she must face the truth. It's not her heart, alone, that will be broken.

Beverley Oakley

Beverley Oakley was seventeen when she bundled up her first her 500+ page romance and sent it to a publisher. Unfortunately drowning her heroine on the last page was apparently not in line with the expectations of romance readers so Beverley became a journalist. Twenty-six years later Beverley was delighted to receive her first publishing contract from Robert Hale (UK) for a romance in which she ensured her heroine was saved from drowning in the icy North Sea. Since 2009 Beverley has written more than thirteen historical romances, mostly set in England during the early nineteenth century. Mystery, intrigue and adventure spill from their pages and if she can pull off a thrilling race to save someone’s honour – or a worthy damsel from the noose – it’s time to celebrate with a good single malt Scotch. Beverley lives with her husband, two daughters and a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy the size of a pony opposite a picturesque nineteenth century lunatic asylum. She also writes Africa-set adventure-filled romances tarring handsome bush pilot heroes, and historical romances with less steam and more sexual tension, as Beverley Eikli.
