Peg Plunkett, or Mrs. Margaret Leeson as she liked to call herself, was the leading courtesan and brothel-keeper of late 18th-Century Dublin. She was born in 1727 (or 1742 according to some sources) into modest prosperity in Co. Westmeath. A headstrong girl from the start, she bitterly resented her brother's domination and rejected the elderly shopkeeper chosen to be her husband. After one savage beating too many, she left home and took up with the first of her many lovers. He abandoned her in due course, and, there being no place for a woman other than virgin, wife or whore, she embarked on her career as an "impure." After a series of lovers, heartbreak, abandonment and the birth and death of several children, she set up as the keeper of a very high-class brothel. She and her "nymphs" did business first in Smock Alley, and then in Pitt St. (now Balfe St.) in a very fashionable area of Dublin. Her clients included Lords, Members of Parliament and (alas!) also con men who swindled her out of much of the money she had earned. When she grew too old, she took up religion, and to relieve her poverty wrote these memoirs, which are sprightly, witty and full of remarkable anecdotes of the last flowering of the old pre-Union Ascendancy.

Sarah Campbell has everything she's ever wanted. She worked day and in and day out for her acceptance to her dream school, Vanderbilt University. And now that she's got it she can't wait to finally let loose. She never was the goodie-two-shoes her parents thought she was, but with a new start here at Vandy, she's really ready to make a name for herself. Except she already has one. Sarah Campbell, Peer Mentor. Sarah's been volunteering as a peer mentor at Vanderbilt since she was in high school, so it's no shock to her when her boss asks her to take on the hardest case of the semester. Cue Adam Watson. Adam Watson is ready to move out and move on. With a past riddled with mistakes, he's ready to create a new future for himself. The only problem? Vanderbilt isn't so forgiving. He's handed his acceptance and football scholarship with one condition, that he meets with a peer mentor once a week. After a serious warning from the head coach, and threats of being kicked off the team, Adam realizes that the only way he's going to keep his starting position is by actually attending these meetings once a week. Even if it's not by choice. Sarah Campbell and Adam Watson's worlds collide in a unique set of circumstances, and neither one of them are necessarily thrilled about it. But as Sarah begins to spend more time with Adam, she realizes that there's more to him than what meets the eye. And maybe, just maybe, there's a piece of him worth saving. *Trigger Warning: This book deals with issues such as Alcoholism & Bulimia. -Updates: once a week -Cover created by: TinHoverCarlnIce
