Satin Seduction
When fiercely independent Alexander Dampier was tricked into an arranged marriage by his overbearing father, the furious young man swore he'd never consummate his vows. But when the hot blooded gentleman farmer first set eyes on this long-limbed blonde wife, he saw the most desirable female in the whole world. Alex refused to be committed to only one woman forever; he promised he wouldn't fulfill his father's dreams. Though after sampling Nichole's full lips and luscious curves, it was getting harder and harder for the aroused male to remember to protest rather than to passionately take his pleasure!
Innocent Nichole Ramoneur had no friends, no money, and no idea what to expect in the New World but she knew that such an unwelcoming reception from her husband was intolerable. Somehow, the proud beauty would sneak away and return to her beloved war-torn France. Then suddenly, the silky-skinned mademoiselle felt Alexander's strong arms gliding along her body, his masterful kiss trailing down her sensitive throat and the inexperienced bride couldn't say "No." She'd still escape this handsome devil who claimed he wanted no wife, but for now she had no choice but to submit to his undeniable Satin Seduction!

About the author
Allison Knight
29 books12 followersIn junior high she decided she wanted to write, so in seventh grade she wrote poetry. In eighth grade she started writing prose; in high school, short stories, in college, she authored a newspaper column. After college, she continued to write. While teaching Home Economics, she even started a cookbook. Her husband claims it was a good thing it never saw the light of day.
When she started teaching, she met and fell in love with her very own hero. They married and started a family. As her children grew, she entertained them with stories, some real and some not so real. When she found a spare minute or two, she read. She still continued to teach and more than once her classroom, full of inquiring minds, had a teacher who'd had very little sleep the night before because she'd read into the wee hours of the morning. (She claims she has no self-discipline when it came to a good book!)
After she discovered historical romance, and found things missing in the current book she was reading, she decided she had to write her own romance. Full of enthusiasm, she pulled out her portable typewriter, (computers were not yet a common household item), a package of paper and began- - -
THE GREAT AMERICAN ROMANCE!
Her daughter asked what she was doing.
"I'm writing a book," Allison said.
"Oh yea, Mom! When cows fly!!!!"
When her first book sold, she came home from her teaching assignment to find a stuffed cow, with added wings sailing around the family room tied to the ceiling fan. Of course she had to dedicate the book to her children exhorting them to look up!
Today Allison has seventeen romances to her credit and she is busy working on more historical romances, including a good old-fashion gothic. She speaks at conferences, and delights in sharing her love of the romance genre with anyone interested in talking about books.

Romance. Quite unbelievable that the father would go to such lengths to get his son married.
