She also wants to keep her house staff from being victimized by her brother-in-law, who is well known for having ruined two young women years before. Martha is as proper as they come when it comes to men, but she also has the best of intentions for those who live in her area, wanting to start a school for the poorer children who leave there. The romance in this book was such a slow burn, but it was so worth it. For the full synopsis, see this book’s Goodreads page. The premise had interested me when the ladies on Dear Bitches, Smart Authors discussed it, even though it didn’t really push any of my trope buttons.Ī widow desperate to keep her estate from her brother-in-law schemes to produce an heir by propositioning her neighbor to assist her in her mission. After reading some very blatantly erotic contemporary romances, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from this historical one. But could a lady’s sweet surrender open their hearts to the most unexpected arrival of all. But how can he resist this siren in widow’s weeds, whose offer is simply too outrageously tempting to decline? Determined she’ll get her money’s worth, Theo endeavors to awaken this shamefully neglected beauty to the pleasures of the flesh-only to find her dead set against taking any enjoyment in the scandalous bargain. Theophilus Mirkwood ought to be insulted.
Forsaking all she knows of propriety, Martha approaches her neighbor, a London exile with a wicked reputation, and offers a strictly business proposition: a month of illicit interludes.
After all, if she has an heir on the way, her future will be secured. Newly widowed and desperate to protect her estate and beloved servants from her malevolent brother-in-law, Martha Russell conceives a daring plan. In Cecilia Grant’s emotionally rich and deeply passionate Regency romance debut, a deal with a rumored rogue turns a proper young woman into.
