Yvette Coulier is a dog groomer to the wealthy and elite, but she longs to be more than just the hired help. Her life is on the road of ordinary until she gets an invitation to join the Black Stocking Society. This mysterious group of women offer her a chance to live dangerously. Nate Blackwell is wealthy and handsome. He has it all, so it appears. He makes Yvette an offer she can't refuse. It was to strictly be a business deal...no strings attached. During the course of their agreement, sparks began to fly. Their hot and heavy romance progresses quickly because Nate has a secret. Will it be devastating enough to extinguish their fire?

A Gentleman's Offer is a well written story by Dara Girard. Dara Girard's writing style flows without having lagging moments in the story. There are several secondary characters that were well developed. These characters were an essential part of the plot. This is the second book in the Black Stocking Society series. Dara Girard is doing a wonderful job making the society more mysterious with each story. A Gentleman's Offer is a good read.
