Romance Historical

It is a time of celebration in the Pingkang Li, where imperial scholars and bureaucrats mingle with beautiful courtesans. At the center is the Lotus Palace, home of the most exquisite courtesans in China...

Maidservant Yue-ying is not one of those beauties. Street-smart and practical, she's content to live in the shadow of her infamous mistress-until she meets the aristocratic playboy Bai Huang. Bai Huang lives in a privileged world Yue-ying can barely imagine, yet alone share, but as they are thrown together in an attempt to solve a deadly mystery, they both start to dream of a different life. Yet Bai Huang's position means that all she could ever be to him is his concubine-will she sacrifice her pride to follow her heart?

Re: The Lotus Palace

Your book has shot up to the top of my TBR list!! I have always been fascinated with Chinese culture, and have collected their artwork for a long time. They are a gentle, fascinating people, with a wonderful philosophy. I find their collectibles beautiful, and have been taken with their Hakata dolls. The one virtue that they live by is patience when you look at some of the intricasies of a lot of their pieces. Anyway, I am looking forward to reading your book. There aren't a lot of Authors who write about the Chinese people, and as soon as I see one who does, I snatch their book up in a New York minute!! I can't wait to read yours, and be taken away to another place on the other side of the world!! Thank you for a most enlightening posting, as well.
