The Making of a Scoundrel (Den of Sin #17)

Real estate agent Simone Jones doesn’t have time for boyfriends or lovers, not when she has a pay-or-quit notice on her door. She needs money, not distractions. Desperation sends her out to the Louisiana bayou to make a sale to the Beaudelaires—one of New Orleans’s wealthiest families.

She had no idea old money could be so young and look so fine. Seductive Sebastian Beaudelaire may have been born with the cold metal of a silver spoon in his mouth, but he’s all warmth and oh so tempting. She doesn’t want to throw away her budding career as payment for his touch, for his kiss, for him. But that’s exactly what she may do if she can’t resist the scoundrel’s trail of seduction.


Sebastian has lived a passionless life of privilege. While he loves his wife, it’s been years since she’s shown desire for him. Despite all her encouragements for him to take a lover, he’s never been tempted…until now. Simone’s the heat he’s been missing—the type of love that could make a man risk everything. For her he’s willing to take the risk, but is it fair to ask her to gamble everything, too?
