描述
Two damaged souls. A dark secret romance. Can it be a second chance at love?The lovely widow has nowhere else to turn. She once rejected his offer for her hand. She chose security over the former soldier's love. It was a mistake.
Betrayed. Bitter. But he loves her still. Lord Vincent Ogden intends to correct the wrong done to the lady’s fortune. Then she tries to force his hand. It's an unbearable slap to his chivalry. In a fury, he strikes a dishonorable bargain. It might well destroy his life and everything he holds dear - when he forces her to become his unwilling mistress.
Disclaimer - Not for the fainthearted. Lots of hot, explicit sex.
Lord Ogden read the book’s gilt title. He lifted his eyes and looked at her. The darkness of his heated gaze arrowed straight at her. She could not help the shudder of apprehension that ran through her. “Lord Byron.” He smiled but there was an edge to it. “It seems that I have underestimated Sir William. He is obviously an ingratiating fellow. I was not aware that you had a taste for lurid poetry. Is this why you receive him alone, my lady?”“It’s not what you think,” said Lady Ogden in a low voice.
“You would be frightened by what I think,” snapped Lord Ogden. He tossed the book onto the settee and strode up to her. He grasped her wrist with bruising fingers. She was amazed by the strong emotion that she could see had been aroused in him. “Did he make intoxicating love to you?”
“Pray do not be ridiculous!” Her heart was beating fast. She did not know what he might say or do if she admitted that Sir William had kissed her. The prospect alarmed her.
It looked as though he would say something else. But instead, he tightened his lips, biting back whatever it was. Then abruptly, he released her and stepped back. There was patent anger in his controlled inflections. “This is neither the time nor the place for this discussion.”
“We will not discuss Sir William at all, my lord!” she said defiantly.
He looked at her, thin-lipped. A betraying tic jumped in his jaw. “You are correct.” There was an unmistakable threat implicit in his roughened tone. She was sensitive to it and it made her anxious. He ran his deliberate, fiery gaze over her figure, seeming to strip her of her clothes. A fierce blush flamed her face. She shivered, whether from dread or anticipation, she did not know. His conduct belonged to the dark, overwrought passion of the night. My God, we are in the drawing-room! And the door stands open!
Lord Ogden reached out to snag one of her hands. He turned it over and pressed a burning kiss into her curling palm. His teeth nipped the soft flesh at the base of her thumb, making her gasp. When he let her go, she whipped her hand back and clasped both of them at her waist in a protective gesture. She was breathing quickly. The color fluctuated in her face. His shocking sensuality left her quivering with a strange fluttering panic.In a low, hard voice, he said, “No other man’s name shall be on your lips – but mine! Until tonight, madam.” He bowed and left her.
