A Dark Gift One Day — Rebecca Johnson

Polly wakes up on a cold October morning and unwraps a bizarre and seemingly meaningless birthday gift. Not knowing what to make of it, she sinks into a hot bath, unaware of the steamy adventure that is heading her way.

Enter a cultured, charming and utterly wicked gentleman from a bygone age, bent on seduction and unafraid to roll up his cuffs and assert himself in any way he deems necessary.

Scented water and old fashioned methods of correction bring Polly to the realization that, when a strong-willed man has a dark gift to give, all a girl can do is submit to him and accept it with good grace.
