[Sold by Chapter] COUNT MAXIME'S VIRGIN

Lucien Maxime, the Count of Ferranbeaux, would do anything for his people. When it comes to family, though, he's all but indifferent. The untimely death of his brother, and the rumors of his entanglement with Tara Devenish, his sister-in-law, have made him cold to the only family he has remaining. When his orphaned niece, Poppy, is left with Tara, he'll make sure she's taken care of financially, but it's up to Tara to make sure that he finds a place for Poppy, and maybe herself, in his heart.
