Book excerpt: When it comes to acting the gentleman with Miss Abbott, this marquess is damned if he does...and damned if he doesn't. In this scorching hot Regency romance, the Marquess of Alastair has doubled the dowry he is providing Miss Abbott because the sooner she is married, the sooner she is out of his care - and his fantasies. To Mildred Abbott's dismay, her dowry is now attracting numerous unwanted suitors, and she has no interest in marrying. What she wants is an encore of her night at the Chateau Debauchery, where Alastair once fulfilled her most decadent desires. When just such an opportunity unexpectedly arises, Alastair concedes to her proposition on one condition: that she never again return to Chateau Debauchery. But when their families get together for Christmas and Mildred is confronted with her true feelings for Alastair, will the Chateau Debauchery prove too great a temptation?
