A lady on fire! Eleanor, recently widowed Lady Bradford, married her much older late husband under her parents' pressure. But the deceased Lord Bradford didn’t deliver in the bedchamber. Free from her burdens, Eleanor set out in search of a paramour that would fulfil the desires that she'd only glimpsed during her marriage. She looked around her circle with little success. Until her bland, watered-down solicitor gave signs that a fire burned beneath his impersonal stance. Curious, she decided to peel his insipid surface and his insipid clothes to discover what lay beneath them. At twenty-eight, Walter Gresham inherited the solicitor's firm from its former owner. He's desired Lady Bradford from the first moment he lay eyes on her. But he has a physical condition that prevents him from consorting with decent ladies. As Eleanor literally corners him, he's about to succumb to his rapacious hunger even at the risk of having her flee from him in horrified scorn. Published as a bonus erotic novella in The Lady and the Mill Worker
