Annabelle's Awakening by Louise Taylor

The Ruttingdon Series Book 2

The Honourable Annabelle Spencer will soon become the Duchess of Rothmuir, and she can't wait to get married! It's not the beautiful dress or the opulent wedding ball that she's looking forward to the most, however. All she wants is to be naked in the arms of her love; Daniel, the Duke of Rothmuir, once more.

But it has now become clear that there is more to marrying Daniel than simply becoming his duchess. In addition to being a powerful peer of the realm in Victoria’s England, he is a proud member of the Ruttingdon Club, an exclusive group of titled noblemen who enjoy inflicting pain while taking their pleasure. Annabelle is determined to accompany Daniel to meetings of the Club when they are married, but he is unsure whether she can cope with the physical and psychological demands that appearance at club meetings place on females who attend these exotic functions.

Can Annabelle endure the strict training the Club requires? Will she master her fear of bodily exposure in front of strangers? Can she and Daniel build a life together that balances duty to their roles in society with their desire for dark sexual pleasure?
