The Bull and the Pearl

Cassandra Fortesay, Countess of Marchbourne, has always held the London season as a great source of entertainment. But this year, she finds herself seeking diversions of a different kind altogether, and from the unlikeliest source imagined.

Dubbed The Bull, Joseph Stodeley, Baron Stodeley, has come to town in the hopes of alleviating his restlessness. But the second the Lady Marchbourne steps into the saloon of his preferred pleasure haunt, he is sure the ennui of his present existence is about to be assuaged by the Mayfair Pearl in a manner he never dared dream of.

A passionate love, unlike either have ever know, will rupture between these two unlikely lovers, but can it endure when reality comes calling, demanding they return to its cold, unhappy clutches?
