Pride, Pleasure and Secrets

Two people inexplicably yet irrepressibly drawn to each other—neither aware of the other's hidden desires. He declared her to be tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt him. By her own most adamant admission, he was the last man in the world whom she might wish to tempt. Yet in their private moments, it's all they can do not to imagine being as one with the other.

A confluence of unforeseen circumstances finds the two of them under the same roof for a lengthy stay. They may be indifferent acquaintances by day, but will all that change during the solitary hours of the night?

A steamy Regency-era vignette conceived for readers in want of quick gratifying escapes. Meant for mature audiences.
