Beautiful, spirited, and daring Marietta Greentree is determined to follow in the footsteps of her natural mother, the dazzlingly gorgeous courtesan Madam Aphrodite. However, being the most...unconventional of the three Greentree sisters makes Marietta's goal a bit more challenging than she expects, leading Madam Aphrodite to encourage her to try seducing just one man – the disgraced and broodingly handsome former Lord Rosebay, Max Valland. Considering the gentleman has virtually nothing to lose, he's certainly willing to help Marietta on her mission! Soon though, he's caught completely off guard by his genuine attraction and desire for the strong-willed and determined young lady and drawn to her unexpected vulnerability. Only when Marietta is threatened by the dangerous mysteries surrounding her partner in passion does she realize she's betrayed the courtesan's number one rule: never fall in love.
