Angeline is the last woman on earth for Edward and yet a stolen kiss in the moonlight awakens something deep and primal within him.

However, deep down she believes that Edward’s dedication to convention will melt behind closed doors, where sensuality and seduction play wicked games. For a proper wife by day can become a husband’s secret mistress by night, when delicious desire rules.
