A Gentleman Seduced

For fans of Bridgerton, in Regency England, a woman who seeks more than a tepid society marriage finds herself rescued by the Season's most wicked rake… Desperate to enjoy one glorious adventure before submitting to her boring—but enviable—match, Diana Tiverton arranges to masquerade as a madam for one night. Diana almost reveals herself when she catches her fiancé in the brothel, playing a naughty game of blind man's bluff. Forced to flee before she is discovered, she accepts the help of the dangerously intriguing Lucien Northcote, Viscount Pembroke. Escaping in his luxurious carriage, Diana quickly discovers that all the excitement she could possibly want is right in front of her. After impulsively helping the reckless innocent, Lucien is more than happy to indulge her need for sensual adventure. But before their few days of wicked passion are up, Lucien finds to his shock that he is becoming…A Gentleman Seduced. “Lucien…” “Yes, pet?” He unhooked her corset and dropped it to the rug. “Do you intend to join me in the bath?” “Yes. But not tonight. That is an adventure for tomorrow.” Her petticoats fell to the floor with a rustle. She stepped out of them, kicking them aside. She reached down for her garters. “Shift first.” He caught her hands. “I like to look at a woman wearing only stockings, garters, and shoes.” She did as he asked. As her shift came free of her hair, she realized she was—for all intents and purposes—naked. “Beautiful.” There was a raw, honest, heart-felt quality in his voice that left her breathless. “Turn around.” She pirouetted, his gaze as intimate as a caress. When her bottom faced him again, he put his hands lightly on her hips. “Stop there. Now bend, my pet, and remove your shoes and stockings.”
