Lady Victoria Ashford decides to write for an underground sex paper after she finds and reads her brother’s copies. She ends up being blackmailed about her writing. She is also in love with her brother’s friend, Matthew Corwin, but her mother is being blackmailed by a Colonel and is insisting Victoria wed him.

Matthew is a known rake; when Victoria overhears him make arrangements to try a new girl at a bordello he frequents, she makes arrangements to take the girl’s place. To keep her identity hidden, she makes Matthew promise he will not remove her mask. Needless to say, Matthew is not happy when he later learns her identity.

Her Dark Master is a love story about what happens between two people when one doesn’t realize that they do love the other person. This story is filled with several twists and situations that get out of hand when Victoria tries to handle them herself. She is determined to live life on her own terms, as much as possible, within the society of Regency England. The scenes with Victoria and Matthew will have you going for ice cubes. I will be reading this one again even though I rarely read historical romances.
