Gambling with your reputation has never been so much fun!
The Disaster at Almack’s was the beginning of the end for Miss Honor Barnes, even though her part in it was small. With her reputation in tatters, she must look for ways to secure her comfort and safety…which is where wealthy tradesman, Sebastian Boothe, comes in. And if it means a daring gamble at the card table to win her way into his bed, it’s a chance she’s willing to take.
Sebastian is just enough of a rake to bow to Honor’s wicked wishes, but he has more than fun on his mind. His entire fortune is in danger, thanks to the underhanded machinations of Lord James Grey. With time running out to prove he is the rightful owner of the profits of his recent trade mission to India, he is faced with the impossible unfairness of a commoner challenging the nobility.
But Sebastian has an ace in his corner in the form of Honor and her skills. Together, they can set a trap to take down the most notorious cheat in the ton…if Sebastian can learn to trust Honor first.

The Incorrigible Courtesan, Book 2 of the When Wallflowers Were Wicked series, was about Miss Honor Barnes, twin sister of Miss Verity Barnes (now Lady Verity Manford, the Marchioness of Landsbury), daughter to the late Lord Richard Barnes, Baron of Halesworth, and wealthy tradesman, Mr. Sebastian Boothe. When her sister, Verity, accidentally ruined her chances to be accepted by high society, she also ruined it for her two sisters, Honor and Sophia. When Verity came up with a way to support herself, she decided to teach her sisters all she knew so they, too, could follow along should they decide to. What her sister failed to see as she made her decision to become the mistress of a marquess was that the woman she had insulted at their first ball had cruelly and deliberately turned everyone who was anyone in society against her sisters as well as herself, thus making the lives of Honor and Sophia unbearable. Honor, unlike her twin, wasn't as assertive and, therefore, a bit uncertain as to how to dig herself out of ruination. However, she was clever enough to come up with other ways to achieve a similar goal as her sister. Sebastian, having recently survived a hurricane on a return merchant trip to India, was in peril of losing the fortune he had acquired all because of the underhanded machinations of the cheat, Lord James Grey, who was trying to convince all of London that Sebastian was not the rightful owner of said property. After altering several of her gowns to be more tempting and purchasing some masks, Honor found herself visiting Mrs. Follett’s gaming hell where she began playing cards against the gentlemen who were also clientele of the establishment. So many twists and turns in this book, yet each and every one of them brought about one more shock of pleasure and astonishment at how this author can take what the nobles once thought of as "the dregs of society" and make them into so much more than the nobility themselves. The emotions that filled the pages of this book were vast, including humor, angst, drama, passion (OH the passion!!), and even righteous anger. The passion (did I mention it already?!) was definitely five-alarm, smoking HOT, and it showed a side of the 1800s society that many deny existed. This was definitely worth a five-star rating and to be added to the Keeper for the Shelves collection.
