(book three)
The downtrodden daughter of a viscount, the Honorable Miss Holly Turner is desperate for money and assumes the secret identity of Lord H--an erotic artist--but her carefully crafted world turns on its ear when she stumbles into the room of one very handsome--and very naked--gentleman, mistaking him for her model.
Quincy Hawkins is chasing the dragon, hoping to outrun the demons from his past, but when an audacious--albeit beautiful--wench paints him in the buff, mayhem erupts. What is a gentleman pirate to do when scandal strikes? Marry the wench, of course. There's just one hitch. He won't bed her. Ever. His charming wife has already stolen from him his likeness, his freedom, and Quincy won't give her anything more . . . not even his body.
Holly can't believe her ears. A marriage in name alone? She will never have a wedding night? She will never know the pleasure of her husband's sensuous touch? Well, she won't stand for it. She intends to have a real marriage--with all the sensual benefits--even if it means seducing her stubborn pirate.
