Love revealed at a courtesan's ball.
Brenton, Lord Mallory, attends his first courtesan's ball in ten years to appease his concerned friends, though he'd rather stay home and read to his motherless daughters. Though mortified that Brenton unmasks her at a scandalous ball, Lady Lillian Armstrong doesn't regret their night together. But will the object of her girlish adoration still treat her as his best friend's little sister, or will he now see her as a mature and willing woman?
