The Blade That Tempts. The Dowager and The Duelist, #2

She vowed never to surrender again. He makes surrender feel like power. In The Blade That Tempts, the simmering sequel to The Dowager and The Duelist, widowed aristocrat Lady Constance Merriweather hires the most dangerously beautiful fencing instructor in the realm. Rafael D'Astéran is no gentleman. He's a duelist, a rogue, a man with a past as shadowed as his jawline. But when Constance demands private lessons behind locked doors, their clash of blades turns into a dance of dominance, desire, and undeniable heat.
Set in a world of gilded salons, whispered scandals, and corsets loosened by candlelight, this historical erotica romance blends slow burn tension with explicit scenes of power exchange, forbidden attraction, and knife-sharp banter.
