Plot Summary of Say You Love Me
"Kelsey Logan's family is on the brink of financial ruin shortly after the death of her parents, and it's up to her to guarantee a safe future for her dear sister Jeane. The ruin is almost immediate, so there is only one option; become the mistress of a wealthy lord.

At the House of Eros, a place of poor character, Kelsey is put up for auction. Rich, handsome, and sensual, Lord Derek Malory did not intend to buy himself a mistress that night. However, when his foe bids on Kelsey, he had no choice but to buy her from the man, a man Derek had witnessed torture prostitutes.

Neither Derek or Kelsey intended to fall in love, but as their passionate nights together create attraction, they cannot help it. Kelsey loves Derek, and he realizes that loved is returned, but will the rough structures of society allow them to be together?"

Ashley Abbott, Resident Scholar
