An American widow and an English lord play a passionate game in this erotic Edwardian romance, the second in Gabriel’s Savage trilogy (following 2014’s Lord Savage). Evelyn Hart spent a torrid week in the country with the Earl of Savage, who taught her about the joys of passion and submission. She agrees to another week with Savage in London, where they must conduct their affair with a modicum of discretion. Despite the quiet disapproval of friends and servants alike, Eve gives in to her desire, obeying Savage’s every challenge and command. Their sensual interludes grow ever more intense. But while Eve is ready to surrender her heart to her new lover, Savage remains brooding and distant. With their week coming to an end soon, Eve must face a life without the man she now calls Master. Worse, one of Savage’s rivals wants her and will do anything to claim Eve as his own. Numerous explicitly erotic scenes provide the backbone of the story as Eve’s sexual awakening mirrors her emotional growth and confidence in her new role, and the chemistry between Eve and Savage sizzles with every encounter.
