Once Upon a Rogue Julia Regan

Emmeline Hughes has lived a privileged yet boring life of custom, groomed for the day when she will be wed to a member of the peerage. When her twin brother disappears, she takes it upon herself to look for him. Disguised as a member of the working class, she ventures to a place she often heard her brother mention: Covent Garden. In that den of ill repute, Emmeline is awakened to desire. Soon, she becomes a lady at court by day, and a courtesan by night. It is during this time that she encounters David, a mysterious rogue who not only ignites her passion but steals her heart. Emmeline's double life must come to an end when she is to be presented to the Duke of Bouillon as a prospective bride. Can Emmeline give up her secret existence - and David - to become the prim and proper wife of a duke?
