Only virgins need apply…

So when she reads an ad to take part in a ‘scientific study of virgins,’ the incredible five-thousand pound fee it offers seems like the answer to her prayers…

Trevor Markham knows the scandalous scientific study he’s planned will outrage society, but he firmly believes it will ultimately benefit Victorian women. He just never expected the virgin who responded to his ad to be such a beautiful temptation. As he struggles to hold the line between his professional conduct and his growing personal feelings, nothing can prepare him for the shocking discovery of the true identity of his perfect virgin…
