Writing romances around a courtesan school is fun!<br /><br />Shoot, a young woman really couldn't be caught in the dark with a man without being ruined, yet, as long as a wife produced an heir(and maybe a spare)with her hubby, she could take lovers.

I'd love to get a cake with the cover on it for my birthday, but then I wouldn't want to eat it! <br /><br />Fallen women do need HEA's. I have a book about courtesans and some really had tough lives. I'd like to think they all didn't marry for money, but maybe some did for love? I can't remember her name but one mistress had something like ten kids with her lover. She must have been devoted, though he never did marry her.
