Viscount August Greyson is a rogue. What else would you call a man who's offered such an exchange? Maeve O'Connor's time for the purposes of his pleasure, each visit twice as long as the one before, all in lieu of rents due as his tenant. Moments grow to minutes, and soon, August isn't certain how much time with Maeve could ever be considered enough. All he wants, and all that he cannot have, is her. Should he declare himself knowing that their union has no hope, or only partake of her body whilst he can? August knows he's arrogant, presumptive, condescending... but he also fears. He's dreamed of Maeve in secret for years, even knowing it could never be. Surely, he couldn't be blamed for taking advantage of her misfortunes, could he? Without August’s patronage, her family will lose their livelihood. Every moment he holds her in his arm reminds him of what could have been, and tempts him with what might be...
The ticking clock counts down their stolen moment, even as the consequences of their passion begin to grow beyond the Greyson estate. Can August and Maeve overcome a world designed to keep them apart?
