The Lady & The Rake

Nicholas is a heartbreaker with a scandalous reputation! The married women and widows know him all too well.

On a bet, he pursues Paloma, an American aristocrat. What he didn’t bet on was falling in love with her.

Upon entering the bar, I’m graced with a few open stares.

Clinging to my escort’s arm, I let him lead me to a table near a window.

He leaves me to order our drinks, as I let my gaze wander about the room.

My business mind takes in the decor, upkeep of the furnishings, and cleanliness of the establishment.
