An Experienced Mistress — Bryn Donovan

Will Creighton always does what Victorian society expects of a gentleman. But after he returns home to London from the horrors of war to find his fiancée married to someone else, he decides he's played by the rules long enough. He intends to enjoy illicit pleasure with a mistress before marrying a proper wife.

Genevieve Bell is anything but proper. She struggles to be taken seriously as a female artist, and when very young, a brief affair ruined her chances for a good marriage. Now painting is her only passion--until she meets Will.

When Will mistakes Genevieve for an experienced mistress, Genevieve finds herself unable to resist playing along. But will he discover she's far from an expert in the art of love?
