Love has a way of getting what it wants... A handsome earl and a beautiful seamstress are looking for answers. Both are willing to do what it takes to get them—even if it requires a little seduction. Whether mending a ripped corset or constructing velvet pantalets, Sophie Darshaw is skilled with a sewing needle and in high demand at Madame Eudora's brothel. But dreams of a better life lead Sophie to take a position as a maid for one of the Madame's clients. Sophie thinks she can handle working for the lecherous Mr. Fitzgelder—yet her new master's machinations prove dangerous. After the Earl of Lindley's search for the double agent who killed his family keeps leading him to Miss Darshaw, he begins to suspect she's somehow connected to the plot. Bedding her seems like the best way to get some answers. But Sophie learned a few things from the girls at Madame Eudora's, and she's ready to put them to use.
