Everything I Ever Wanted

The Compass Club Series Book#2

Re-release Nov 2015 / Original Release Mar 2003

Bestselling author Jo Goodman weaves breathless sensuality, colorful history, and a dash of suspense into her captivating new quartet featuring the daring gentlemen of the Compass Club. Now follow Matthew Forrester, Earl of Southerton — otherwise known as South — as he uncovers a trail of murder and treachery that leads straight into the arms of love.

The toast of Drury Lane, actress India Parr has claimed the attention of London’s most impressive gentlemen — including the Prince Regent himself — with her talent and poise. Though her heart hasn’t been won, she is intrigued by the devilishly handsome South — yet equally determined to keep him from the dark, deadly secret that shadows her private life.

But South has other plans. A clever killer is afoot in London and he suspects India may be involved. Her charms have made her the confidante of many powerful men, and South intends to learn just how much she knows — by spiriting her away to a cottage where she will be safe from peril — but not from South’s powers of seduction. Now, night after night, in the name of justice, he plans to persuade India to reveal all…

“Just when you think you have it figured out, she throws you a curve. From the Dennehy’s to the McClellan’s to the Thorne’s to the Hamilton’s, each “must read” story is more captivating and original than the last. The Compass Club series is no exception — it’s a treasure, a true masterpiece. I’m already waiting for the next installment. Bravo, Ms. Goodman. You’re the greatest!” ~Suzanne Tucker, Reviewer, Old Book Barn Gazette
