The Pleasure Trap
After years of heroism in the fight against the French, Ash Denison wants nothing more than to savour the good life. But an urgent request has sent him to a writer’s symposium. His charge – to unmask an author who has rattled several members of the ton by revealing their most intimate, most scandalous secrets.
