The Lovely Duckling

Reputed for his carnal skills, notorious rake, Joseph d'Alumbert, prefers amorous encounters without any sort of emotional entanglement--until a most unique lady stirs tender feelings . . . and hot desire.

Emilie de Sarron suffered burns to her body as an infant, and keeps her scars--and her heart--well hidden. But Joseph is determined to peel away her inhibitions, one slow, sensuous kiss at a time, to reveal the beautiful swan inside...

***Can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.
