After spending all her life pinned beneath her overbearing mother's thumb, Lady Edith Smythe is desperately weary of being a respectable, dutiful daughter. What better time to finally cast aside her wallflower ways than at a country house party where women's suffrage is the leading topic of the day? And there's no better man to exercise her freedom with than a diabolically handsome rake who's as sinful as he is irresistible. Valentine Blakemoor, self-made property magnate and one of the wealthiest men in England, has been lured to the wilds of Yorkshire by the promise of vengeance. Seducing the bookish, bespectacled Lady Edith proves an embarrassingly easy feat. But once he has her in his bed, Val is bemused to discover Lady Edith is far more than the quiet, freckled spinster he believed. To his shock, he can't seem to get enough of her, which decidedly wasn't part of his plan. For the first time in his storied career as a jaded rake, Val wants more than mere pleasure. In fact, he wants everything Lady Edith has to offer. But she's firm on her insistence that one night and her innocence are all she's willing to give. And when she discovers his true motives for pursuing her, nothing between them will ever be the same... Heat level: Scorching! Don't say you weren't warned.Length: Short Novel
