Some men are not for marrying. They have no interest in
being dutiful, respectable husbands. What they offer is a
sensual paradise to any woman who dares take it. And
Julius D'Abernon, Marquis of Darley, is the master of the
game.
Julius's scandalous exploits have inflamed the pages of
The Tatler for years. It is said he can seduce any woman
with one of his smiles. Julius can have any woman he
wants, but bedding Lady Grafton? That would be a challenge
indeed.
The very reputable Elspeth, Lady Grafton, is as
refreshingly candid and quick-witted as she is beautiful
and vibrant. Pity that she is the virtual prisoner of her
tyrannical, aged husband, a man who cannot gratify his
wife in any way. Such a woman should, nay, needs to
experience the joys of passion that Julius is ever so
qualified to administer-selflessly, of course. One kiss
will get her into his chambers. But one kiss turns out to
be more than he bargained for and yet not nearly enough.
