The Pleasure Merchant Molly Tanzer

Back in print after some time, this new Author's Preferred Edition of The Pleasure Merchant features refreshed content, new introductory material and notes, and a new Matthew Revert cover!

When apprentice wig-maker Tom Dawne's greatest creation is used as part of a revenge scheme against a powerful gentleman, he is dismissed by his embarrassed master and forced to abandon his dreams of completing his training, setting up a shop of his own, and marrying his master's daughter. Determined to clear his name, Tom becomes the servant of the man he suspects set him up. Tom finds himself caught up in a web of ambition, deceit, mesmerism, sex, and power...and at its center, a man able to procure pleasure for anyone--for a price--and a woman whose past has been stolen.

From Molly Tanzer comes The Pleasure Merchant, a novel of despair and desire, equal parts psychological thriller and sensual parlor drama.
