Salvation

""Part Three of the Corsets and Carriages serial novels

"I will not be a wife in name only."

Rian Connor's proposal of marriage should have been the happiest moment of Catherine Davenport's life. He is her savior, her tutor in the ways of flirtation, the man she wants for her lover. But two impediments bar the way: the vicious assault that may have ruined her ability to enjoy any man's touch; and the vindictive woman who will stop at nothing to regain Rian's affection.

"There can be no turning back once you have given yourself to me."

One exquisite night of completely mutual pleasure proves to Catherine that with Rian, the physical side of their union will bring only joy. But even her new husband cannot protect her from the diabolical scheming of his former mistress. Delivered into the hands of the madman who once delighted in tormenting her, Catherine is swept back to the place where it all began. And this time, the price could be her future with the man she is finally free to love . . .
