What it feels like

This historical romance pulls you straight into the fog-draped, shadowy corners of London's underworld, wrapping you in an atmosphere of simmering danger and intense sensuality. The pacing is brisk, driven equally by a high-stakes murder mystery and the crackling, forbidden tension between a desperate heroine and a morally gray rogue. The prose is lush and atmospheric, lingering on sensory details that heighten the steamy, seductive mood. As the characters navigate their dangerous masquerade, the emotional texture shifts from mutual suspicion and reluctant bargaining to a fierce, undeniable vulnerability. It is a perfect escape for readers who love their historical romances laced with grit, suspense, and a deeply possessive hero who will stop at nothing to claim what he desires.

About the book

Three nights of danger...When her brother was arrested for murder, the ton shut its doors to Marietta Winters. No one would help her save him from the gallows—no one but Gabriel Noble. In exchange for taking the case, Gabriel requests three favors from the desperate young beauty, and Marietta has no other choice but to make a deal with the sinfully handsome devil. Three nights of pleasure...Searching for clues in the rough underbelly of London, Marietta must masquerade as a shamelessly wanton wench—much to Gabriel's delight. But Marietta swears to herself that her passionate moans are just for show. She could never fall in love with such a maddening, arrogant, seductive stranger...could she? Three nights of sin...Night after night, she satisfies his wicked cravings. But soon Gabriel wants more from Marietta than just three nights of sin—and even a sordid secret in his past won't prevent him from trying to possess her forever.
