His Countess — S.M. LaViolette

Businessman Gideon Banks is cold, brilliant, rich…and bored. Who knew that a man who excelled at debauchery could become so bored? It's not until he learns that he is heir to the Taunton Earldom that things start to get interesting. The late earl's irksome, superior, and entirely too attractive widow is particularly fascinating to him. And the fact that she's now entirely dependent on him? That opens up an astonishing array of thrilling -- and erotic -- possibilities…

Alys Taunton might be sheltered and lonely, but she's not stupid. When Gideon proposes a marriage of convenience, she never expects the immoral man to remain faithful. But the sensual delights he promises are impossible to resist, and she soon starts to wonder what would be more painful: refusing him and keeping her distance, or offering him her complete surrender, heart, body and soul.

Amidst a cycle of mind games and struggles for sexual dominance, can Gideon and Alys find their way to happily ever after? Or will their dark desires tear them apart forever?

His Countess is an angsty, dark, standalone historical erotic romance novel featuring consensual BDSM, MF, MMF, FFM, voyeurism, exhibitionism, explicit love scenes, and YES, a happily ever after!

This is EROTIC ROMANCE, not er*tica. That means this book has a real story and lots of it.
