The Courtesan’s Daughter

This is a steamy historical romance short story (word count 4,793).

Caroline Baxter is not completely oblivious to the fact that Jeremy Clifford is attracted to her. However as a Courtesan’s daughter she is not naive to how people and society, in general, may perceive her, for that reason she is always careful to guard her thoughts and feelings carefully.
But Jeremy is proving very persistent in trying to win her over. If only she could find a way to see into his heart and understand his true intentions towards her.....perhaps then she could allow herself to act on her own inner desire!
