In a Rake’s Embrace by Stacy Reid

Miss Agatha Woodville never imagined life would lead to the infamous pleasure palace, Aphrodite. Desperate to save her family from ruin, she makes a daring choice: auctioning her virginity. To succeed, she must craft an image of allure and innocence, captivating the gentlemen who will bid for her. For guidance, she turns to Thomas, the rakish Earl of Radbourne, whose infamous seduction skills are unmatched.

Agatha’s only goal is to save her family—not to fall in love—but as the auction draws near, she finds herself drawn to the dangerous allure of the one man who has vowed never to marry. With her heart on the line and heartbreak seemingly inevitable, Agatha must resist the man she was never meant to love.
