It's another epic Guard of Six novel when one of the Six finds himself with an explosive inheritance that threatens to ruin his reputation as a noble knight. An inheritance that involves... wine, women, and song? ***If you love Age gap Romances, Forbidden Romances, and a heroine with a ton of secrets, then this story is for you!*** Sir Jareth de Leybourne is the moral compass for the Guard of Six. He's the wise man of the group, rooted in reality, relying heavily on logic. But Jareth's family has a secret that is about to shake his very foundation. Jareth's life is proceeding normally when he receives word that his father's brother, a rich nobleman with extravagant tastes, has passed away. Jareth is named as his heir. Summoned to his uncle's lavish manse in the vibrant city of Bristol, Jareth finds himself in possession of a productive business that has funded the building of a local church and a college, among other things. It seems that Jareth's uncle was heavily into philanthropy. But the truth behind the cash flow is far less noble. The source of the money is a profitable brothel and gambling hell. "Aphrodite's Feast" is a very elegant house of ill repute and a gambling hell, so accepted by the populace of Bristol because of the money it gives back to the community, that it's the worst kept secret in town. Fine men publicly denounce it, but also visit it. The woman are the most beautiful in England and the food is exquisite, so the entire enterprise makes money hand over fist. And a very appalled Jareth finds himself the new owner of this... this... travesty! Enter Lady Desdra de Daire. Desdra ended up at the brothel for reasons beyond her control. She's not one of the working women, but instead, uses her education to run the entire venture. A spinster by choice - because who is going to want a wife who works at a house of ill repute? - she and Jareth go head-to-head from the first day they meet. But that friction soon turns into something else warm and romantic. However, beneath it all, an even greater enemy lurks. As it turned out, Jareth's uncle had a very powerful enemy, one quite envious of the entire enterprise. Now, that enemy wants Jareth dead, but in a twist of fate, Desdra stands in the way... of her own father. And Jareth must do everything he can to save her. Join Jareth and Desdra and the fascinating characters of Aphrodite's Feast on a remarkable and unique journey though the seedier side of Medieval England, where the darkest of souls lurk and love always reigns supreme.
