Publisher's summary

A woman courting ruin...

No one would suspect prim, proper Prudence Etchingham of lusting after her best friend's brother. Nor would anyone guess that she's responsible for dozens of the best forgeries in London's antiquities markets. But if her love for Alex is doomed to fail, she must raise enough money to escape the marriage mart. She just needs one last daring forgery to set herself up for life....

A man evading disaster...

Alex Staunton, the rich earl of Salford, lives a charmed existence. No one knows that he's dangerously attracted to his sister's best friend. Nor has he revealed that he suffers from an ancient curse - one that has given him everything but prevents him from marrying the woman of his dreams. But when an enemy from his past takes an unseemly interest in Prudence's future, Alex must find a way to break the curse...or risk losing her forever.

A love they're destined for...

Every seductive encounter brings them closer together - but their secret smoldering desires will inevitably burn them. And when Prudence's illicit forgery collides with Alex's desperate search, more than their hearts are at stake. Can they break Alex's curse and save Prudence from her unwanted suitor? Or will their love become a weapon that will destroy them both?

Loved it

The whole series was great!! Didn’t love book 3 much all all but it all came together:) enjoying it very, very much and will look for more from the author

Remarkably well written

There are so many authors in the historical romance genre who don’t fully flesh out characters, immerse them in the mindset of that time period, that finding this author was a total surprise. She’s very good. Distinct and time-period accurate characters, beautiful prose, and plots that are deeper than you’re probably used to in this genre. She also doesn’t depend on her heroines being foolish or stupid to make for good conflict. They’re strong women but also period appropriate while being well matched. The love stories make sense and are well paced and not as predictable as I’m used to in this genre.

The prose is occasionally absolutely brilliant while serving the plot, and I loved this series.

Definitely the best of the series

Everything about this audiobook was perfect: plot, character development and especially narration. This was my favorite of the Muses of Mayfair series by far.

Better than the last one

Storey isn't bad if you believe in ancient Egyptian curses. I prefer something more realistic. The narrator did not even attempt to do male voices. This made it difficult to tell which character was speaking.

WONDERFUL STORY 💐🌹🌹🕵️‍♂️🤔❓

AN ENGLISH SETTING WITH INTRIGUE, ROMANCE, A CURSE, AN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN DAGGER🗡️ PLUS ROYALTY 👑!!

Surprisingly good!

Such a great series! And it was free!!! So different then your traditional HR. I really enjoyed the narrator, she took a little to get used to and her mens voices were not great but she did a really nice job!!! I highly recommend this series and this book ❤️

Pretty good

Better once H and H finally discuss the issues that are holding things up. Fast fun read for the most part. Not a complicated or intricate story though.

So good! I wish this wasn’t the last in the series.

Great series! Each storyline unique yet wonderfully intertwined. Written well and narrated With the different characters voices easily recognizable and stayed true throughout the series

Not as good

This one was not as good as the rest of the series in a way. I don’t understand why people were hoping for the duke- he is a weasel. But either way. Narrator was good. Story was ok. I didn’t mind the magic in it- the only issue was it was the only book in series that had magical element which made it a little odd. Otherwise prudence was good.

much better than the second book..

the first book and this one were the best of the lot. the marquis who loved me was almost as good.
