"An incredibly amusing story of sexual prowess and games between two evenly matched individuals."

Fresh Fiction Review

Taken by Desire
Lavinia Kent

Romance Historical

Sexy and independent Anna Steele is considered a wayward woman by London society. Never married and independently rich from an inheritance from her uncle, Anna answers to no one. At least until she finds herself married to handsome and rich Alexander Struthers in an attempt to protect her married sister's reputation. Anna and Alex, having a history from childhood, have over the years formed a cool distance with neither considering marriage to anyone. The sexy seductress and the all- empowered Alex soon realize the fiery eroticism between them speaks of something other than aversion for one another. Threats from Anna's cousins to steal her inheritance through nefarious means keep both Anna and Alex on their toes. The ongoing attempts at gaining each other's hidden secrets turn to a game of intrigue and sexual prowess. This is an incredible read of sexual prowess and games. This most amusing story has two evenly matched and strong- willed people constantly trying to outdo the other. Anna is a dedicated woman with high standards that are misunderstood by society, while Alex is a confirmed bachelor who has fallen in love with his own wife; and each with a history to be uncovered. This is definitely a keeper.
