The Lord Requires an Heir (eBook)

Adelaide Halloway needed a savior. She found a master.

Horatio Abernathy was her father's oldest confidant, a pillar of Victorian rectitude. But when Adelaide comes to him to rescue her crumbling estate, he reveals the ironclad terms of his help: He will save her legacy only if she carries his.

The pact is scandalous: Six months. One goal. A breeding that defies every rule of propriety.

Horatio is a man of cold commands and shadowed hungers, and he has no intention of being gentle with his "clinical" arrangement. In the silent, heavy nights of his manor, he stretches her defenses and her body, claiming her with a possessive dominance that shatters her world. As rival plots and embezzlement threats close in, the line between duty and obsession vanishes.

Adelaide came to save her home, but she's losing herself to the man who treats her body like his private property.

He was her father's best friend. Now, he's the man who won't stop until she's marked by his heir.
