Moment of desire

by Rachel Cosgrove Payes

Beautiful, spirited young Mellie Wilton thought the handsome Earl of Henning was going to rescue her from her degrading life in London and take her to his wealthy estate in Kent because he wanted her for his wife. When he tricked her into marrying his son so that he would have an heir to his fortune, Mellie became enraged. Tormented by a husband who could never love her, yet consumed with desire for the man who had deceived her, Mellie was filled with a burning need for fulfillment and revenge. Published by Playboy Press, this is no Signet HR. Note the two wildly differing reviews on Goodreads. One is 5 star and the other is 1 Star.
