A young man forced to sell his body for money.
A young lady who watched him do it.
Two tormented souls brought together years later to assuage the hunger of a desperate, irresistible attractionโฆ
Seven years ago, on the eve of her wedding, Ladyย Jessica Sheffieldย witnessed a scene so scandalous she could not erase it from her memory. Shocked, yet strangely titillated, she held her silence regarding scandalousย Alistair Caulfield, and walked down the aisle as expected. But through years of serene, unremarkable marriage, Caulfieldโs image remained burned into her imagination, fueling very illicit dreamsโฆ
Alistair ran far from the temptation of the prim debutante with the fire of passion in her eyes โ all the way to the West Indies. Now a successful merchant, he has little in common with the rakehell youth she knew. But when newly widowed Jessica steps aboard his ship for a transatlantic passage, seven yearsโ worth of denied pleasures are held in check by nothing more than a few layers of silk โ and the certainty that surrender will consume them bothโฆ
