And succumb she does, taking her plan to scandalize the ton to a far more personal level. Right away their working relationship begins to have erotic overtones, and Merry realizes that although she is in it for the scandal, she is also very much in danger of succumbing to Nic’s charms. Merry manages to fool her parents into thinking she’s staying with her friend Isabel in Wales, but instead moves in with Nicolas so that he can paint her. Posing nude would make for a scandal that would definitely take her off the marriage market, for Nicholas is not only a sought-after painter, but he has the reputation of a rogue. Not only is Merry intrigued by Nicolas, but she also knows that a great opportunity has just been given to her. If you haven’t tried Emma Holly but are looking for something spicier than your typical historical romance, this book might be what you’re looking for.Ībout to be forced to marry persistent suitor Ernest Althorp, Merry Vance, daughter of the Duke of Monmouth, finds herself saved from a violent situation by artist Nicolas Craven, who immediately thinks that Mary Colfax – the name Merry uses since she’s dressed as a maid when they meet – would make a wonderful subject for one of his paintings. For those of you who tried Emma Holly’s first historical romance, Beyond Innocence, you will find that Merry Vance, a secondary character from that book, takes center stage in Beyond Seduction.
