As "Ellen Chapman," Aisha Resonne made the Cock & Oyster the most exclusive brothel in London. Her strict rules have kept her body and heart untouched-until the day Percy Howard pays a visit. With a charming tongue and an imaginative mind, Percy proves difficult to resist both in and out of bed and she capitulates to love. When the promise of a peaceful retired life in the countryside sparks a move to Percy's country house, Aisha and Percy must join forces to expose nefarious plots and solve mysterious deaths. Will their sleuthing leave time for the bed play that brought them together, or will quickies in a carriage do?
