This book will be available for purchase starting Dec 3rd, just in time to download for the holidays!


My Review: I gave this book 5 stars and both recommend it and plan on reading it again. This novella is the perfect size for reading while on that plane, train, or car ride to family for the holidays. I read it in about 45 minutes. It starts right off with a steamy exchange, quickly followed by good romantic content and even teaches that people aren't always what they appear to be. It far surpassed my expectations. The whole story is great and sets up a good character base to use in future books for the series. I will continue reading from this author and cannot wait for the next book of the series to come out and see where she goes next.

Synopsis: Miss Daphne Hayward is on the hunt for a safe, honorable husband and she has set her sights on the perfect target. She plans a full-scale seduction that will bring him to his knees, and have him begging for her hand in marriage. But when she mistakenly slips into another man's bed, the passions that quickly ignite threaten to send her well-laid plans up in smoke.

Ashton Fitzgerald, Duke of Claymore has never been for want of a willing woman in his bed and his rakish ways have become legend in boudoirs and dark corners all across London. But not even Ashton can account for the powerful desire that surges through him when a mysterious woman pays him a clandestine midnight visit. As dawn breaks, his goddess flees before he can learn her identity. Now Ashton will stop at nothing to unmask the identity of the woman who bewitched him body and soul and make her his . . . forever.
