About this ebook
"There is nothing in the world less appealing than a chaste young man."
At least that’s the opinion of Countess Anna von Esslin, who is shocked to learn her cousin has gotten engaged without a single taste of passion. Upon arriving in Derbyshire, Anna discovers that poor Charlotte is betrothed to an insufferably pious viscount whose devotion to virtue borders on fanaticism.
Determined to spare the girl an uninspiring wedding night, the Countess dispatches urgent letters to London to enlist an obliging Italian nobleman for the rescue.
But while the Countess arranges her cousin’s seduction, she is also reunited with James McKirnan, a man intent on seducing her. And James is certainly far from chaste...
A brazen Scotsman with a tradesman’s pedigree and a remarkably muscular physique, he knows far too much about Anna’s past in Paris and has no intention of behaving with polite restraint.
