The Widower’s Desire: Sensual BWWM Historical Short (The Respectable Black Lady Series)

Hannah Taylor has spent years mastering the art of being unremarkable: gloved, gowned, and beyond reproach. Then, at a seaside resort gala, Henry Beaumont crosses the ballroom and tells her plainly that he wants her.

He is a wealthy widower, silver at the temples, with a voice like brandy poured slowly. He does not toy with her. He does not whisper in the shadows. He admires her mind, her mouth, and every inch of the woman she hides beneath silk and stays.

One terrace at twilight. One stolen kiss in a moonlit garden.

And one locked suite, where a lady finally learns of the life she has been missing.
