Patrick's Pledge — Josie Dennis

Patrick Hawk fought his cursed Hawk lusts until his mother died. He ruts his way through Yorkshire until the Earl of Hawksfell invites him to Hawksfell Manor to find satisfaction with his staff. Patrick accepts, but vows to keep from taking advantage. Mary Turner is a maid at Hawksfell Manor. She was seduced at her previous job, then fired. She's attracted to Patrick, and worries she'll lose this position if she gives in. Thomas Grantley is the earl's man of affairs. He's smitten with Mary but wants love and companionship. He's attracted to Patrick too. Despite his pledge, Patrick can't stay away from Mary. He and Thomas discover they want the same things, each other and Mary, and the three of them explore their passions. Mary trusts Thomas with her heart, and Patrick wants to be a part of the love they share. Can he love them both without breaking their hearts?
