Roselyn Longworth has foolishly placed herself in a
position from which she will not recover. She trusted the
wrong man, and in horror, she watches as he turns on her
and actually auctions her off at a dinner party.
Kyle Bradwell takes over the bidding by offering a
decisively large amount of money. He is at the party only
accidentally, trying to take care of some business, and
can't bear to watch Roselyn's humiliation.
Roselyn may have been stunned to be auctioned, but she's
almost equally stunned to find that Kyle treats her like a
lady. But by now, she knows that everyone has ulterior
motives. She just needs to determine what Kyle wants.
Madeline Hunter has been a favorite author of mine
since her first book. With a skillful twist of words and
emotions, she excels at bringing a story to life. You'll
feel the anguish of Roselyn's poor choices, and the honor
that is integral to Kyle. A touching read.
First he’ll learn her most intimate secrets. Then he’ll
arouse her deepest passions. He’s the lover she’s been
waiting for: the man who can rescue her from her wicked
past–for a price–in Madeline Hunter’s tale of sin,
seduction, and irresistible, impossible love.
He catches her eye across the dining room–a handsome
stranger who stands out among the lewd noblemen and bawdy
painted women. But their worlds are about to collide in a
way Roselyn Longworth could never have imagined. For
before the night is out, she will be auctioned off to the
highest bidder…and Kyle Bradwell will lead her from one
kind of hell to another. Yet from the moment he wins her,
Kyle treats Rose with a gentleness she hasn’t known since
a family scandal destroyed her reputation. And when she
finally learns what is really driving Kyle, it’s too late.
For Rose has fallen for the man who knows her most
intimate secrets. Now he has stunned her with a proposal
of marriage–the first step in a seduction that will demand
nothing less than her complete surrender.…
