Plot Summary of Silver Flame
"This is the 2nd book of the Braddock-Black series.

Empress Jordan, of French decent was desperate with so many mouths to feed (her brother and sisters) so she offered to sell her services for 3 weeks in exchange for money. Handsome and wealthy Trey Black was present at Lily's parlour to his first auction and end up bidding an obscene amount of money ($50,000) for her.

He was familiar with pleasuring women but was taken by surprise by her sweet innocence and her lush beauty. Without a question, she was definitely worth every penny. The question is how he could keep her when their time is up."

Sharren Khoo, Resident Scholar
