An Indecent Proposal . . .
When Douglas Eston arrives at the home of the Duke of Herridge, he expects to leave with an investment—not a wife!

She swears she’ll never submit to the wanton delights of the marriage bed. But soon Douglas’s considerable charms prove impossible to resist… and the decadent ecstasy he offers shows Sarah that an affair that began with business can end with the ultimate pleasure.
