Summary

Over six feet tall and square-shouldered, Norwin, the Earl of Kensall is beyond dispute extremely handsome and known to have an eye for the ladies.But when the beautiful young Sadira Bourne is told she is to marry him, she is appalled. Not only because she does not love him or even like him, but also because he has little regard for her and is actually in love with her stepmother, the Marchioness of Langbourne. The Earl only means to marry Sadira to save her stepmother’s reputation and indeed his after her husband discovered her affair and is intent on divorce, which would take a long time and cause a major Society scandal, which everyone involved in will suffer from.Wickedly the Marchioness gives Sadira little choice, threatening the lives of her beloved horse and dog and assuring her that she will besmirch Sadira’s name forever in the Social world.Refusing to marry a man she will never love, Sadira flees to Morocco to become a student of the famed Medical Missionary, Father Christopher. But little does she know how much her intelligence, sylph-like figure, striking blue eyes and ineffable beauty have entranced her forced fiancé.Or that he is setting out in his fine yacht to come to her rescue. And little does either the Earl or Saira know in what terrifying circumstances they will be together once more!

    Seven days to make her remember. Seven nights to make her beg. 
    She was my salvation—until she became my destruction. 
    Once, I would have bled for her. 
    Now, I burn for revenge. 
    She and her father didn’t just betray me. They destroyed me. Left me broken, bleeding, crawling my way out of hell. And now, years later, she’s back—wrapped up in a satin bow with a convenient case of amnesia? 
    Nice try, princess. But I don’t believe in fairy tales. 
    I bought her at an auction. Now I own her for a week. 
    Seven days to make her remember exactly who she was to me. 
    Seven nights to make her pay for every lie. 
    And when I’ve broken her, when I’ve ruined her the way she ruined me… 
    She’ll beg me to keep her. 
    And I will. 
    Because after seven days, I won’t be able to let her go. 
    Not now. Not ever. 
    Just seven days to make her mine. Forever.

    We all have memories of our favorite encounters. They exist like dark little red rooms lining the corners of the hallways of our minds. Some are revisited often, others we happen upon when it is least expected, interrupting your thoughts like little pangs in the middle of a conversation. It's easy to want to revisit those rooms again and again, and at the same time, there's this desire to keep them untouched and sacred. 
    These are brief, re-tellings of my favorite pang-inducing erotic memories. Some of them haven't happened yet, others are so etched into my psyche that they'll always be a part of this house. 
    Enjoy.
