Madame Rouge—Ruby to her intimates—always makes the secret desires of her clients a priority. Now the time has come to fulfill her own fantasy, one so private it brings a rare blush to her cheeks. When Captain Derek Price returns from his service to the sea, Ruby will sell London’s elite house of pleasure, leaving behind her very home to marry the sailor who has mastered every surging crest of her body.
Pity, then, the ill-timed arrival of Ruby’s estranged half-sister, Jasmine, desperate for a warm bed and a sympathetic ear. Ruby is loath to marry the poor girl off to a stranger or, even worse, entrust her to the ignoble lord who has bid on the brothel. She has no other choice than to shelter Jasmine herself. As much as Ruby’s heart races at the thought of a future with Derek, she now faces the possibility that, once again, her happy ending has been delayed—unless a Christmas miracle makes all their dreams come true.
A Very Ruby Christmas is intended for mature audiences. This ebook includes an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

In this holiday interlude in the "Bound and Determined" series, brothel owner Madame Rouge has finally found love but has yet to find contentment as she waits for her Captain Price to return from yet another seafaring journey. Meanwhile, she is battling a reticence to sell her establishment to the highest bidder while helping a relative who has turned up with an urgent plea. During this in-house drama, Lord Colton and his wife, Angela, are living out her deepest spy-captive fantasy, seemingly worlds away. While Ruby's primary plot progresses, readers are treated to a plethora of steamy scenes as her clients arrange kinky Christmas "gifts" for their wives involving gags, riding crops, Dominant/submissive power play, and much more. VERDICT A sexy holiday bow to Kent's (Mastering the Marquess) series. Recommended for fans of historical erotica with a touch of light BDSM.
