“Husbands, guard your wives.” Though Lord Barclay dresses in far too much lace and carries a mother-of-pearl fan, Jonathan Weston cannot help but be a little awed by the handsome and seductive man. As the husband of the most beautiful woman present, Jonathan takes to heart the warning provided him. Frustrated at the lack of attention his wife provides him in the bedchamber, Jonathan will be damned if another man succeeds where he has failed. But as the evening progresses, a night of wanton taboo pleasure becomes unavoidable. Jonathan finds himself unable—and perhaps unwilling—to stop Lord Barclay’s seduction. READER ADVISORY: This erotic historical short story is an M/M/F ménage from the point of view of a male protagonist who experiences his first gay encounter. It is the prequel to CONQUERING THE COUNTESS, an erotic historical with BDSM elements.
