However, Mark’s brother Matthew reminds him that he is to marry Charlotte Lawrence who he has not yet met because he was too busy making love at the exhibition hall where they were to meet. Instead Mark tells Matthew he had the most incredible afternoon delight in his life, but does not even know the passionate stranger’s name. He dares to want more from the widow, but also knows he must marry her cousin due to a blackmail scheme involving their mothers.
This erotic Victorian romance will elicit moans form the audience whenever the lead male makes his mark. Passion is his perfect partner, but he is betrothed to her cousin instead. The story line focuses on the twosome struggling with desire that leads to love while he is pledged to another. Lisa Valdez heats up the era with a fine historical starring two ardent lovers defying society’s norms and owes her audience a sequel starring a nice young lady who deserves the best in spite of her gene pool.
