Orphaned at a young age and sent to live with selfish
relatives, Margaret Gray has no dowry and no chance of ever
marrying. When her aunt invites Jordan Prescott for a
visit, hoping to entice him into offering for Margaret’s
spoiled cousin, the dashing war hero instead tempts
Margaret into a truly decadent decision. If Margaret cannot
have a husband, perhaps she dares, just once, to taste the
pleasures of the flesh? Now that she’s awakened to her own
desires and sensations, she is drawn body and soul into a
rapturous clandestine liaison.
Since his dissolute father squandered the family fortune,
Jordan is required to marry an heiress in order to provide
for his half-siblings. Yet no woman has ever aroused him as
much as Margaret. Her sedate exterior belies a bold,
curious spirit and tantalizing sexuality. A single illicit
tryst becomes a month-long journey in carnal abandon, but
with Jordan’s visit drawing to a close, can their passion
survive the dangerous scheming that threatens to keep them
apart?
