Honour? Or her heart's desire? Two years ago, the vicar's beautiful daughter, Hope, chose life as a governess in preference to Felix, Lord Durham's marriage proposal. Now the divine "Miss Hope" is in Felix's bed - a surprise gift from his friends designed to lift his spirits and sourced from London's most exclusive brothel, Madame Chambon's. Despite feeling betrayed, Felix can't bear to lose her again, but Hope Merriweather is bound to her new life by a dark secret. Having sacrificed the man she loves once already, she must choose again: Honour or her heart's desire? Forsaking Hope is Book 2 in the Fair Cyprians of London Series but can be read as a standalone.
