The Spinster's Seduction
(2025)(A book in the Lovers' Arch: Later in Life series)
A novel by Terri Mackenzie
A gentleman never breaks his word… but for her, he'd risk everything.
At seven-and-thirty, Miss Evelyn Davenport has long accepted her fate as a spinster. For the most part, she doesn’t mind. But there is one thing she has yet to experience: sex. There’s only one man she trusts with her body—her closest friend, Charles Hardinge, the Marquess of Rotherham. The man she has secretly loved since childhood.
Committed to a life of indolence, Charles cares for nothing—save for Evelyn. When she asks him to seduce her, he finds himself torn between honour and all-consuming desire. But there is little he has ever denied her, even when her request stirs a hunger only she can satisfy.
If he could, he would ask her to be his wife. There’s just one problem—he’s promised to another.
