"Her Husband's Harlot is a pleasing, out of the ordinary read." -Dear Author

Not Quite a Wife...
After a disastrous wedding night, proper Lady Helena Harteford fears for the fate of her new marriage. Disguised as a doxy, she tracks her husband down at a bawdy house to reason with him... and instead discovers the thrill of forbidden passion. An innocent ruse turns into a risky deception; how far will this once-wallflower go to win her husband’s love?

Unfit to be a Husband...
Orphaned at an early age, Nicholas Morgan escapes his violent beginnings to become a successful merchant—only to discover that he is the legitimate heir of the Marquess of Harteford. His transition to the ton is rocky and made rockier when he marries above him. Torn between guilt and lust, he tries to protect his sweet, innocent wife from the demons of his past. But can he safeguard her from his own raging desires?

Caught between Past and Present
When a dangerous nemesis rises from Nicholas' past, husband and wife must work together in order to survive. From the drawing rooms to the stews of Regency London, they find themselves caught in a game of passion and seduction. Will true love prevail? Or is Helena destined to remain... Her Husband's Harlot?

"Grace Callaway writes the way Loretta Chase would if she got kind of dark and VERY naughty." -Goodreads

  • More then just erotica

    So…admittedly when I first read this I could get past first 5 pages. You get hit with sex off the back and all a little too much for me BUT after I stopped and went back weeks later I got past first chapter and so worth it. It’s not just about the sex but characters that experienced real horrors -read it! V.L.L-Book Lover
  • Disappointing

    It started off fine then in the middle the author introduced a disturbing subject regarding children. Sometimes authors throw so many details into a book it’s just too much. I finished the book but won’t read any more by this author. This was supposed to be a sexy romance introducing the abuse of children was disturbing especially when it was so unexpected.
  • Less harlot, more chaos

    This book was a strange mix. You had a little mystery, very little romance, odd and numerous characters popping in and out, and sooo much dialogue happening in the heads of the characters. The story zig zagged all over the place and there was so much back and forth. Made it way too long.
  • Enjoyable book.

    If you are looking for a book to speak to the scholar inside this may not be your book. So it is definitely the book for me! I want Happily Ever Afters. Sweet romance and a strong hero. Grace Callaway always delivers this for me. Thank you Grace!

    An interesting story with action, mystery and romance . It is well written but my only complaint is that I do not appreciate reading so much about sex as using my imagination instead. Not my type of book!
  • Great plot twists!
