Plot Summary of A Well-Pleasured Lady
"She, Lady Mary Fairchild, is a prim, plain, desperately viruous lady. And she wishes to remain that way forever.
However, when she met Sebastian Durant, Viscount Whitfield, all her discipline are lost. She couldn't help but wonder about if he remembered the night when they first met. It's been ten years, she had changed. Maybe he won't remember after all.
However, He, Sebastian Durant, Viscount Whitfield, did remember and recognize her as a Fairchild, one of his family's bitter enemy. When he demanded her help to recover a stolen diary, she dared not to refuse. When he proposed that they masquerade as a betrothed couple, loyalty forced her to agree. However, this masquerade will unwrap the past of a murderess and passion of a lifetime. Now everything is set, Mary had to trust this powerful man that could be either her prince or her death executor."
Kelly , Resident Scholar
