    About this ebook


    England, 1796. Miss Trudie Faraday has admired handsome Bastian Wilson for months, despite the aloof way he treats the rest of Society. She is surprised to find him at the same week–long house party she's attending–and is even more shocked by his scandalous views on love and desire. While Trudie believes only love can guarantee compatibility in the bedchamber, Bastian vows to prove her wrong–by wagering that he can give her sexual satisfaction before the week is out!
