Excerpt<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Brent, why are you eager for me to risk a repeat of my miserable marriage?’ Lady Lillian asked. ‘When you\u2019ve declared that you\u2019ll never marry again.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Because you\u2019re a woman and I\u2019m a man.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lillian’s eyes narrowed. \u2018That\u2019s a very biased view, and I thought you better than that.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brent groaned. \u2018You\u2019re right. It\u2019s unfair to tell you to risk more unhappiness when I won\u2019t.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Everyone knows you\u2019re avoiding your family because they push eligible ladies towards you. They want you to remarry and give your daughter a new mother.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018They\u2019ve no right to interfere in our lives, mine or my daughter\u2019s. We\u2019re happy as we are, the two of us.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Your wife hurt you, deeply, and so you\u2019ve refused to even speak to the women your mother thinks suitable.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018I speak to you.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Only because I visit you and drag you away from your house to go riding. I refuse to let you retreat from the world. You\u2019re a wonderful man with a lot to give to another woman. To another wife.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018You\u2019re the only lady that I can tolerate being near for more than ten minutes.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018And you\u2019re the only man I\u2019d select for a second husband, and you\u2019re against marriage.\u2019 She looked towards a group of men smoking at the far end of the verandah. \u2018Hence my venture into the unknown tonight. The sedate balls are full of married men or old lechers, as all the exciting men are here instead.\u2019 She pointed towards the cluster of five or six young men. \u2018Perhaps one of them might be the boost I need to restore my faith in the male gender. A virile young man who knows about pleasurable sex.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He scowled as he watched the young men laugh and slap each other on the back. \u2018Those pups are too inexperienced to give a woman pleasure. At that age, it\u2019s all over too quickly. You need someone who will leave you limp with pleasure.\u2019 He shook his head and seemed to collect himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lillian swallowed. She didn\u2019t doubt that Brent knew many ways to make sex exciting and unforgettable, but there was no point imagining herself with him when she knew how studiously he avoided contact with women these days. Well, except for her and his cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Not all men are cruel,\u2019 he was saying when she paid attention to his words rather than the way his trousers stretched across his groin when he had his hands on his hips and his coat tails pulled aside. \u2018Some husbands value their wives and treat them like queens.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She sighed. \u2018A nice thought, Brent, but unless you can introduce me to one of those paragons of husbands, I\u2019m reduced to finding my excitement with one of the gentlemen here tonight.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
