Although I'm a stickler for negotiations and diplomacy in state matters, I doubt I'll have the will or the reason to do either when it comes to you, and I haven't even seen your lovely face. Nonetheless, my heart has been captured by your voice and arse and I fear I've fallen in love.

The day Percy Elwen Howard, Lord Ross strolls into the Cock & Oyster brothel he realizes his days as the Queen's master spy have come to an end. His heart captured by Aisha Resonne, the lovely Black English owner of the brothel, and he sets out to seduce the reluctant Aisha.

As "Ellen Chapman," Aisha Resonne made the Cock & Oyster the most exclusive brothel in London. Her strict rules have kept her body and heart untouched-until the day Percy Howard pays a visit.

When the promise of a peaceful retired life in the countryside sparks a move to Percy's country house, Aisha and Percy must join forces to expose nefarious plots and solve mysterious deaths. Will their sleuthing leave time for the bed play that brought them together, or will quickies in a carriage do?
