Dollars for the Duke — Barbara Cartland

Duke of Otterburn put his arms around Magnolia Vandevilt, then slowly, very slowly, as if he was still afraid to frighten her, his lips found hers.

As he kissed her he knew, just as he had expected, her mouth was soft, sweet and innocent and gave him an ecstasy he had never known before in his whole life.

To Magnolia it was everything she had wanted and longed for, and which she had thought she would never find.
