Beautiful but born into poverty, Lily spends her days drudging as a washerwoman and nights dreaming of a better life. After a relentless night, Lily steps out onto the streets to be with her thoughts, only for her to experience a chance meeting with a handsome and mysterious Lord.Lord Ewan Alexander needs a wife, and quickly. Unfortunately for him, he’s not interested in the social climbers his family wants him to settle for. Fortunately for Lily, she’s exactly what he’s been searching for—beautiful, hard-working, and in need of a better living arrangement. There’s no love shared between them, and once their contract is settled, it’s expected they’ll live a cordial but cold existence together.For Lily, who’d dreamed endlessly of love and pleasure, this arrangement is markedly better than she’d experienced so far, but less than ideal. Does her husband find her so unappealing that he won’t even share their marriage bed? But Lord Alexander has unique tastes, and it’s up to Lily to discover just what her husband needs from her. When a handsome and virile friend of the Lord stays with them in their posh townhouse, Lily discovers the startling her husband likes to
watch.
Together with Lord Alexander’s best friend, Caleb Abery, Lily will discover the key to drawing out her husband’s desires and her own. Sometimes, the best way to get what a woman wants is by putting everything on the line, and together with Caleb, Lily is about to show her husband everything he’s been missing out on.Sharing the Maiden is a historical romance that is heavy on the sensuality (and takes some liberties with historical accuracy). This seductive short read is perfect for readers searching for a quick pick-me-up and a tale that features a special happily ever after for three. less
