Scandal of the Season (The Spinster Club #4)

When he discovers that the woman he has been unable to forget since their scandalous encounter 10 years earlier is actually a pickpocket, Viscount Somerton, who is working on an undercover assignment, makes her a proposition--pretend to be his mistress or face ruin.

A Daring Charade. . .

For ten years, Anthony Westfield, Viscount Somerton, hasn't been able to forget the woman with whom he spent one scandalous night. When their paths cross again, he's shocked to discover Victoria Seaton is an accomplished pickpocket. But Somerton leads a double life of his own. Working on an undercover assignment, he makes Victoria a proposition: pretend to be his mistress or risk ruin. Yet soon he's tempted to turn their charade into reality--and surrender to an explosive passion. . .

A Holiday To Remember. . .

Victoria can't believe the man who almost destroyed her life a decade ago is now threatening to unravel her secrets. But posing as his mistress at a holiday country party is a game she can play well. For just one look into Somerton's eyes still weakens her with lust. And with Christmas fast approaching, every kiss they share under the mistletoe only makes Victoria fall more deeply in love. . . Rated '4/5 - Explicit open door' for steam/spice/heat level.
