Description

With the newfound freedom of marriage, a refined duke and a chaste duchess explore pleasures anew long past their wedding night

Nathaniel Gresham, the handsome Viscount Hightower, lives a life devoted to familial duty. As his father's eldest son, Nathaniel's identity remains the "Heir to the Duke of Langford." But this quiet, restrained life changes the minute he marries sweet Lady Violet Devere. Oppressed by her family all her life, Violet is longing for her marriage vows to be spoken. Though her arranged marriage to Nathaniel was not a match made for love, they're both looking forward to the comparative freedom of married life. And Violet is determined to show Nathaniel how to enjoy it, both in and out of the bedroom.
