The Perils of Patricia: Sex and the Season Five - Helen Hardt

Bridgerton meets Fifty Shades in this long-awaited fifth book in Helen Hardt's Sex and the Season series!

Lady Patricia Price-Adams has spent the last four years secretly longing for Thomas Jameson, her sister-in-law's dashing brother. Thirteen years her senior, Thomas, the newly minted Earl of Ashford, is handsome, intelligent, and being pressured by society to take a wife and carry out his duty of producing an heir.

At the unofficial commencement of the season-a grand ball at the Ashford Estate-Tricia sees her chance amidst the glittering chandeliers and swirling gowns. While Thomas is captivated by Tricia's beauty and spirit, he won't be coerced into taking a wife before he's ready. Still, he can't resist her, and when she finds herself in peril, he's only too happy to come to her rescue. But he has other issues to attend to, not the least of which is uncovering the truth about his father's untimely death.

Danger seems to lurk in the most unexpected corners of the Ashford Estate, and Tricia and Thomas are inadvertently drawn into a whirlwind of intrigue and danger. As secrets unravel and their feelings intensify, every moment is a step closer to uncovering a truth that could change everything-and possibly cost them their lives.
