She has no experience, no credible qualifications. She looks and smells better suited to the East End rookeries than to his West End town house. Worse yet, she reminds him of a soul-staining past he\u2019d prefer to forget.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, she also becomes his fascination.<\/p>\n<p>Physically scarred and lost to a life of poverty, Miranda has but one goal: survival. Although she distrusts her new employer\u2019s generosity, she is determined to save herself, to save her father, and to crawl her way out of despair.<\/p>\n<p>Each wants nothing more than to continue their roles of master and housemaid. But one night, in one sinful hour, when everything changes, a sensual battle begins between the corrupt and the innocent, and to win both Simon and Miranda must lay at stake something neither can afford to lose: their hearts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want to read an excerpt?<\/strong> To read the full first two chapters, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eliserome.com\/the-sinning-hour\/\">http:\/\/www.eliserome.com\/the-sinning-hour\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0~ * ~ * ~<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m also giving away two e-books here!
