An ill child. A desperate mother. A man with money.Cathy Somerset is desperate. Her daughter needs expensive medical treatment. She has nothing left to sell, except her body. Michael Lambert is very successful. He has everything he wants out of life. Then he finds his perfect sugar baby. It's a business arrangement - in exchange for her companionship, he will pay her a monthly stipend. It's only about sex. They will never share the details of their private lives. It's never supposed to get personal. But the torrid affair turns into something more.

Scorned, left destitute by her late husband's will.

'To Charlotte Viscountess Ogden, my wife, the sum of one hundred pounds for services rendered...'

The lovely widow has nowhere to turn.

Unless it is to the new visount. She must throw herself on Lord Ogden's mercy. She once rejected his offer for her hand. She made the mistake of choosing security over the former soldier's love.

Lord Ogden is still in thrall to her beauty.

Once, he had desperately loved her. Betrayed by his cousin, spurned by the lady, he is bitter over the past. Yet honor demands that he provide for his cousin's widow.

Lady Ogden makes another mistake.

She rouses the fury - and hot passion - of the new lord.

Vengeance. Desire. A steamy, seductive passion.

He regarded her in stony silence. His lips were tightly compressed. The control he exerted over himself was patent. She did not allow her gaze to drop, but she could not stop the way her hands twisted in her lap. Behind her, she heard the loud ticking away of the mantel clock. Her heart beat time more rapidly than the clock. It seemed a lifetime before he spoke and his grating reply astonished her.

If you had delivered an heir, by law you would have been granted tenure at Delincourt and a stipend.

Lady Ogden felt the sudden, tight constriction under her breastbone. It was a dulled pain now but still capable of hurt. She would not deign to let him see how his words wounded. I failed in my duty.

Is there any chance you might be breeding?

A flush sprang into her cheeks. She tightened her clasped fingers until her knuckles turned white. She couldn't imagine what conceivable business it could be of his - but of course In a flash, she understood. He'd still be the heir presumptive if she was with child, and not entitled to the chair in which he was now sitting. For a wild moment, she thought of lying, of saying that there was a chance of it, if only to gain some time in hopes of making another way for herself; but she could not sacrifice her honor, after all. It was the only thing left to her besides her tattered pride. Her husband had not lain with her in the several weeks before the accident, and as for the last time... She lifted her chin. None, my lord.

Then there is nothing to be done for you.

The viscount's flat statement fell harshly on her ears. Whatever fragile hope she had nourished withered. In dull despair, she looked at his angered, set face. The slow tick of the clock sounded unbearably loud. Some odd quality gathered in his expression, suddenly frightening her. His hard gaze bored into her own. He spoke slowly, very deliberately. Unless, my lady, you were brought to bed of a child within the year of your mourning.

This study provides new interpretations of the little-known but fascinating Palazzo Trinci frescoes, relating them for the first time both to their physical context and to their social, political, and cultural environment.

Chapters show how a humanist agenda subverted the historical and mythical associations more frequently used to promote powerful families, to point the Trinci family in new directions. It also shows how the artists involved adapted established civic, religious, and chivalric imagery in support of these ideas. The book argues that the resulting decorations are highly unusual for the period, in their serious political and social purpose. Positioning the Trinci as bringers of peace, not war, the family is now associated with culture and education and presented as willing to encourage debate about the character of the virtuous ruler and the nature of good government.

The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history and Renaissance studies.
