About This Audiobook

Susannah Fletcher has everything a young lady could desire: wealth, the attentions of well-to-do duke, and a reputation as spotless as an angel’s petticoats. Yet, she would throw it all away for one opportunity to perform her music on stage—scandalous as that may be. Which is precisely when the rich and menacing “Wolf of Mayfair” makes her an offer she couldn’t possibly refuse . . .

Born on the streets of London, Rafe Winters knows only ruthless ambition. But he’s missing one thing: respectability. It’s within reach . . . if he can draw the polished aristocrats to his establishment with a classically trained musician, and just a soupçon of mystery—like the flame-haired Susannah. Of course, he’ll have to make it worth her while. After all, he’s not a complete beast.

Now Susannah performs in a red cloak as the enigmatic “Red Duchess,” and all of London is entrance—along with Rafe. He promised her he’d do everything to protect her reputation on stage. But off-stage, the wolf is waiting for Susannah to stray from the path and into his arms. No matter the risk . . .

Contains mature themes.

Steamy historical romance

Wonderful book and characters. The three boom series us all you could ever ask for in a historical romance. I believe Rage fell in live with Susannah from the moment he meant her not realizing she would be his true treasure as dud Sussanah. They get their HEA and so…

historical romances, a strong female character, some steamy spice scenes, and one sexy sweet villain

Rating: 4/5What if you were a young lady that knew what she wanted and that was not to marry a Duke and be stuck living a boring life, but you live in the society where higher-class women only marry Dukes or someone higher up and live a plush life. All…
