Mr. Smith has lived his entire adult life with one goal in mind: Revenge.

Thanks to the wealth and power he has amassed over the years, that goal is almost within reach.

The only other thing that he's ever wanted is a child of his own. But with his lifelong plans finally coming to fruition, now would be a terrible time to start a family ...

Besides, finding a woman who is willing to tolerate his voracious and adventurous appetites is extremely unlikely. Until Moira Dunsmore-a far too mysterious and intriguing courtesan-enters his life. Striking a bargain with Moira to bear his child is too appealing an opportunity to pass up.

Smith never imagined that Moira would be so open to his unconventional lifestyle-or so accepting of his live-in male lover. And he certainly never expected to feel anything for her.

But she is...
And he does ...

Love is something Smith has had precious little experience with in his life. Can he trust in love-and Moira? What if the price of their happily ever after is his long-awaited revenge?

Their Master, book 5 in the VICTORIAN DECADENCE series, is a sensual and emotional historical romance novel featuring a mysterious, bisexual hero, a heroine who is far more than she claims to be, a gorgeous and oh-so-eager body servant, and a happily ever after that none of them ever saw coming.
