Make Me Beg

Rake Thomas Boulton no sooner decides to abstain from pleasures of the flesh than he meets the most arousing woman he’s ever encountered.

Seeking refuge in Lord Ridgeway’s library, he expects a quiet evening with a dry volume of history. Instead, he discovers a fascinating visitor boldly nursing a tumbler of Irish whiskey and perusing Darwin.

The unrepentant rogue stakes his pride on cool detachment—until a flash of her sharp wit shatters his resolve. A wealthy American industrialist who answers to no man, she has no use for matrimonial traps or polite London pieties.

Widow Olivia Trent is clever, confident…and determined to beat him at the game of seduction. She challenges him to play sensual games until one of them pleads to be bedded.

Each tantalizing encounter promises sweet victory, yet every brush of skin tests their legendary self-control. Thomas is sure he will soon have Olivia at his mercy—or will he be the one forced to beg?
