Staircase Encounter

Miranda Ellis Mason Craythorne Goddard finally married the one who got away. Though she's secured the amorous interest of two handsome gentlemen, and it's a feat not many women can claim, the third in her trio has been abroad for months.



Mr. John Goddard still can't believe his good fortune. When Miranda consented to be his wife and make a respectable front with him in London, he'd become the happiest of men. He wants nothing more than to set up a nursery, yet the absence of his good friend has taken a bit of the excitement out of the romps.



Richard Howick, a spy who is rarely on English soil, shows up at John's London townhouse unexpectedly and with an appetite for erotic entertainment. After all, he well and truly won the fair widow the same as his friend. When he catches Miranda unaware and carnal pleasure ensues, the fires burn as hot as ever.



That encounter on the staircase will change all of their lives forever in ways neither man could ever imagine.
