Secret Fantasy - Softcover

Original.

In this spellbinding new novel from the undisputed queen of erotic romance, bestselling author Cheryl Holt introduces two of her most unforgettable characters yet--in a story of seduction, longing, and forbidden love...

CAN A DARING ADVENTURE...Orphaned at a young age and sent to live with selfish relatives, Margaret Gray has no dowry and no chance of ever marrying. When her aunt invites Jordan Prescott for a visit, hoping to entice him into offering for Margaret's spoiled cousin, the dashing war hero instead tempts Margaret into a truly decadent decision. If Margaret cannot have a husband, perhaps she dares, just once, to taste the pleasures of the flesh? Now that she's awakened to her own desires and sensations, she is drawn body and soul into a rapturous clandestine liaison.

BECOME AN AFFAIR OF THE HEART?
Since his dissolute father squandered the family fortune, Jordan is required to marry an heiress in order to provide for his half-siblings. Yet no woman has ever aroused him as much as Margaret. Her sedate exterior belies a bold, curious spirit and tantalizing sexuality. A single illicit tryst becomes a month-long journey in carnal abandon, but with Jordan's visit drawing to a close, can their passion survive the dangerous scheming that threatens to keep them apart?
"Holt delivers pure erotic romance...the sizzling love scenes flow and the suspense builds. This is what historical romance readers relish, perfectly balanced passion and plot."
