In Lavinia Kent's scorching new eBook original novella, two wounded hearts find that only the sweet release of temptations long denied can heal the pain of past sins. Five years ago, Miss Sarah Swilp had been deeply in love with Jonathan Perry, the second son of an earl. But when Jonathan inherited his aunt's lands and money, he turned cold, demanding Sarah's maidenhood and uttering those unforgettably cruel words: "You do know I won't marry you." She refused, of course, and that spoiled everything. Now, just as she's agreed to a marriage of convenience, Jonathan reappears--and after Sarah gets one look at his lean, hard body, the embers of desire burst back into flame. Over time, Jonathan has learned quite a bit about the art of pleasure--though nothing has ever given him so much joy as the husky timbre of Sarah's laugh.

After
enduring the first two years of a life sentence for a crime she didn’t commit, there
is one thing Becca fears more than spending the rest of her days behind bars. When
their five-year terms of service on the frozen prison planet of Kemmius are up,
guards are allowed to choose a bride from among the prisoners, and the warden
himself has set his sights on her.
Hunter
has hated the warden from the moment he met him, and he’ll be damned if he is
going to let the vile man have a sweet, beautiful girl like Becca. Not when his
own term as a guard is almost up and he’ll have the chance to claim her first
and make her his own.
Following
a thorough, humiliating medical exam—standard procedure to ensure a potential
bride’s suitability as a mate—Becca finds herself bound to Hunter forever as
both his wife and his property. While her new husband quickly proves to be
nothing like the cruel warden, he is still a man who expects to be obeyed, and
she soon learns that defiance will be dealt with firmly.
Though
she is left blushing each time Hunter bares her bottom for a sound spanking—and
sometimes for other, more intimate punishments—what truly shames Becca is the
way her body responds to his dominance. But even as her feelings for Hunter
grow stronger and her future seems brighter than it has in many years, Becca
cannot help wondering if she will ever truly be free of the chains of the past.
