The Priory
Meg Buchanan
His mother cooks for him, and keeps his house in order, he has friends for companionship and a mistress who meets all his other needs.
Then a friend invites him to the club to talk business and Sophie, the girl waiting at their table intrigues him. She looks only seventeen or eighteen and is beautiful, refined, nervous and totally inept. When she slops the soup on the tablecloth, he puts his hand over hers to stop her trying to clean up the mess, and she reacts like she’s been burned.
He’s mystified. Why would she react like that to being touched, especially as she’s working in a club that is primarily a brothel? He decides it’s none of his business.
As he’s leaving the premises, he sees another young girl about the same age as Sophie forced into a room and the door locked. She looks terrified, but once again he decides to walk away.
The next morning, he can’t ignore what is happening any longer and goes back to the club. Sophie asks him to help her escape and tells him her story. He promises to get her away.
The Priory is the fourth book in the Hennessey series. If you like heroes who triumph against impossible odds, star crossed lovers and fighting for survival, then you’ll love this action-packed novel.
