The Borrowed Bride

Pressured by her family to wed a wealthy gentleman who doesn't love her, eighteen-year-old Dara grows increasingly upset and confused by her husband's refusal to consummate the marriage, and when he announces that he will be travelling abroad for three months she decides it is time for her to seek out her own happiness, starting with an extended visit to London.

Dara's plan soon goes horribly awry, however, when she tumbles from her horse during a storm and is forced to seek refuge in a farmhouse. Her stern, handsome host wastes no time in stripping Dara of her wet clothing and wrapping her in a blanket, and before the night is over he has claimed her in a rough, demanding, intensely pleasurable way that leaves her longing to be his.

Her dishonesty about her situation earns Dara a painful, humiliating spanking the next morning, and over the coming weeks she learns what it means to be thoroughly and shamefully mastered. Though every moment she spends away from her husband's estate risks a scandal, when it comes to light that he has a secret lover of his own perhaps an arrangement can be agreed upon...
