The Taste of Deceit

By Kathleen Haley

Astrid

The lethally gorgeous guy I've been flirting with turns out to be a famous billionaire-duke-and the man who stood me up for one of the most important meetings of my career. Before I can recover from the shock, I put my foot in it. He's probably too turned off to take any further interest in me. Imagine my surprise when, after I kiss another man at a club, his Lordship stakes his claim on me.

Now he won't let me go, even when he has to marry another woman to protect his family's renowned art collection. But I refuse to be anyone's bit on the side, and I won't ruin his chances to keep what he-and his family-hold most dear.

Geraint

As soon as I meet her, I have to possess her. But since women often fall for my title and wealth and she's been with a lot of men, I need to take things slowly. To complicate matters, my father's will gives away our family art-unless I marry my old friend Shannon. I'm determined to find another way, because I refuse to lose the art or Astrid, the woman I delight in destabilizing at every turn.

Only it turns out Shannon's and my families have been keeping secrets from me, and now I don't know whom to trust. All I know is, I'm addicted to the way Astrid challenges me, and I won't let her go.

This dark romance with BDSM elements captures two points of view. Though it has a sequel, it can be enjoyed as a standalone. Please note that it ends on a cliffhanger, which the third of the series, The Feel of Possession, resolves.
