    About this ebook

    Being the Duchess of Bisby is not everything it is cracked up to be for lonely Drusilla. Humiliated by her indifferent husband’s neglect, she finds an unexpected passion when she surrenders to the attentions of his ever-watching and oh-so-very-handsome valet, Jacob Dunnett.

    Jess Michaels

    Jess Michaels always flips through every romance she buys in search of "the good stuff," so it makes perfect sense that she writes erotic romance where she gets to turn up the heat and let it boil. She also runs the popular website The Passionate Pen and writes historical romance as Jenna Petersen.

    Just One Taste - Jess Michaels

    Just One Taste

Candles were lit all around, casting the normally sterile room in an ethereal, sensual glow. Wine waited on the bedside table, her husband’s favorite vintage. And the sheets that graced the bed were of the finest silk.

    She, herself, had never been more ready for the duke’s arrival. Her night shift was made of a fine, sheer black silk. It clung to her breasts, revealing her nipples, and cascaded down her hips, showing the dusting of brown curls where her thighs met.
