He swore he would never touch her…
As his best friend lay dying on the battlefield, Gabriel Davenport made a pair of promises:
One, that he would make sure Hart's little sister, Abigail, married another man.And two, that Gabe, a notorious rake with a reputation for being a magnificent lover, would never lay a hand on her.
Four years later, Gabe has inherited his great-uncle's estate, and along with it, his great-uncle's astronomical debts. He needs to marry an heiress, but there isn't time to find one. If he can't produce five hundred pounds immediately, his great-uncle's creditors are going to seize everything, including his poor great-aunt's wedding ring.
A scandalous solution…
Gabe can only think of one way to come up with the blunt: put himself up for sale in London's most notorious bachelor auction. He'll have to spend the night pleasuring the highest bidder… no matter who it might be.
But what will Gabe do when the unthinkable comes to pass, and the winner of his auction is Abigail, Hart's now-widowed little sister? It's his worst nightmare… but also his dream come true. What's a notorious rake to do?
Please note that the heat level is red hot! If you like reading about widows who are single and looking to mingle with some of England's most notorious scoundrels, be sure to check out the Wicked Widows' League!

A Promise is a Promise
Gabriel Davenport needs money fast to pay the debts he inherited with his unexpected title. His solution? He participates in a bachelor auction. His reputation almost guarantees a sizeable purse. He isn’t expecting a thousand pounds, and he certainly doesn’t expect the mysterious lady who wind him to be his best friend’s sister. Abigail has always loved Gabe. He loves her as well, but promised his dying friend that he would never touch her. That could prove difficult since the auction was for one night of passion. Abigail has the answer. This is a cute story with lots of humor, a problem promise, a feisty and determined heroine, a temporarily resistant hero, and a very steamy romance. A quick and enjoyable read!
