A Moment of Passion

A lady in the ballroom…a lover in the bedroom.

The Ladies Book of Pleasures, Book 2

When Lady Jacinda unwraps a scandalous birthday gift, she’s sure the anonymous giver

is playing a cruel joke. The Ladies Book of Pleasures may be responsible for one gossipedabout

marriage, but for a lady ruined by a rogue and shunned by society, Jacinda is doomed

to a lonely, loveless future.

Worse, as she pages through the volume of passionate promises, she is observed by the

wicked and dangerous Duke of Carnthorn—and now he is stalking her as a possible willing

victim of his shocking preferences.

Jason, Earl of Northfield, is having none of it. Jacinda, keeper of his most painful secret,

is a friend he will not abandon to a wolf like Carnthorn. As they embark on a pretend

courtship—for her own protection, of course—their proper decorum in public melts into

wicked passion in the bedroom.

But even as real feelings begin to develop between them, Carnthorn is watching. He

is not convinced. And he is determined to possess Jacinda, no matter whom he has to

destroy…

Warning: This book contains friends turning to lovers, a highly erotic secret affair and

a wicked villain who will destroy what he cannot have.
