Having purchased Westgate Manor at an impromptu auction from Lord Jeremy Carrington, Morgan Ashton, Duke of Gillingham, has come to claim ownership. He wants to give the manor to his brother as a wedding present. He doesn't expect to find Lord Carrington's daughter running the place-- and completely unaware that her father has sold the manor out from under her. Enchanted by the beguiling Alyssa, Morgan is appalled to discover she has no place to go and no money thanks to her father's gambling debts. After an evening of shared desire, Morgan makes her an offer-- to protect her and take care of her as long as she remains his mistress. Losing her home to the Duke of Gillingham is horrifying-- even though Alyssa knew her father would someday gamble it away. It doesn't take long for Alyssa to become wildly infatuated with the charming, handsome duke. She has led a quiet, sheltered life, resigned to being a spinster. But Morgan sweeps her off her feet, taking her to heights of passion she never dreamed possible. She mistakenly assumes Morgan's offer of the protection of his name is a marriage proposal. When she discovers that his intentions are quite different, Alyssa is offended and humiliated. How can he tell her how special their relationship is and then expect her to remain hidden in the shadows of his life? Broken hearted, Alyssa refuses to become Morgan's mistress. The consequences of their brief affair pull Alyssa and Morgan back together. Morgan had once vowed never to marry again after a disastrous first marriage, but he finds himself proposing to Alyssa and deluding himself as to the real reason. Alyssa accepts, hoping that Morgan won't some day regret his decision. She loves him, but will he ever love her? The passion that brought them together will be the foundation for a love neither of them expected.Passion and a hint of intrigue make Intimate Betrayal an absolute must-read!
