His fingers brush hers, igniting forbidden heat that threatens her carefully constructed facade. His penetrating gaze strips away her defenses, promising dark pleasures beyond social boundaries.

Sophia came seeking justice for her stolen inheritance but finds herself surrendering to primal hunger instead, her body betraying her as the Duke's powerful hands claim what propriety forbids, planting his aristocratic seed where no gentleman should dare.
