      Surrender to desire...

      After one night of passion, the dissolute Duke of Dunstan made Julia his wife, but their honeymoon is far from blissful. Alistair trusts no one with his shameful secret, and that means keeping his tempting new bride at a distance...

      Julia longs for Alistair to yield to the powerful desire between them. But when the dark secrets of the marriage bed threaten their future, this new couple must overcome the past and surrender to their wildest passions to find a new, oh-so-delicious beginning together!

      She lifted her chin and pinned a teasing smile to her lips.

      ‘Shall we gallop ventre à terre in the other direction?’

      Once more a corner of his mouth twitched with the hint of a smile. ‘Now, that really would be rude.’

      Hope bubbled in her veins. Was the distance between them closing? This barrier meant for others and not for her?

      ‘Do we care? Being of the ducal sort?’

      His eyes flashed amusement. ‘Behave, madam.’

      Thrills chased through her stomach. He’d used that deep seductive growl the night they’d made love. Her insides softened, liquefied. Longing filled her. For him. For his touch. For the way he had made her feel.

      ‘I will behave if you will,’ she quipped. He had intended to arouse, she was sure of it. The man did nothing without purpose.

       Author Note

      You might already have met Alistair and Julia, in One Night as a Courtesan. They are a couple who kept interrupting other stories to remind me that while I had married them off I had not given them a proper happily-ever-after. They were quite insistent that after what looked like an excellent beginning things were not going well, and they needed me to give them a helping hand. So I did.

      Along the way I also learned that kaleidoscopes were invented during the Regency era, and learned a new name for a swarm of butterflies.

      I do hope you enjoy their story.
