20-year-old Amelia Ashworth is desperate to get away from
her miserable home life and the cold, domineering aunt and
uncle who took her in after her parents died. But to do
that, Amelia needs a job. And as a proper lady, she has no
work experience. 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…
Labyrinth by Alice Gaines
Kate Walker has been fascinated with reclusive billionaire
Deimos Rowland since her early twenties. When rumors surface
of his exotic sexual tastes, she becomes even more
intrigued. Finally, a drunken former lover of Rowland’s
gives Kate the clue to where she can find the man she’s
lusted after from a distance for years.
Deimos Rowland hasn’t trusted a woman since the ugly and
public break-up of his marriage at a young age. He hasn’t
lost his taste for sex, though. In fact, it’s grown more
exotic with the passing years. He’s set a series of sexual
challenges for any woman who wants to be his lover. Little
does he realize that the woman who passes them all will
still win his heart.
Kate discovers that the man she’s always thought of as hurt
and vulnerable has instead become distant to the point of
hardness. This is not the man she wanted to give her heart
to. Deimos has discovered that he needs love to exist, after
all. Can he allow Kate to melt the ice and make him fully
human again?
Sex, Lies and Contracts by Jennifer Probst
Julianna Elizabeth Waters promise her dying father to save
the family estate at all costs, even if it means marrying
for money, and not love. After years of taking care of her
sick parents, she's become afraid to push past the walls of
her Newport mansion and live.
Jack Woodward has it all - wealth, power, and prestige, but
discovers a contract stating he must marry within three
months or his legacy will go to his cousin, a man he
loathes. He leaves England and disguises himself a gardener,
intent on finding a woman who loves him for himself, and not
his money and title.
When he spots Julianna on the cliffs, he vows to claim her
at any cost, but she is intent on marrying a wealthy
husband. He may be disgusted with her values, but he craves
to initiate the spinster into the dark world of pleasure.
They strike a bargain: she will belong to him every night
and do anything he commands. Lust turns to love as the
nights unfold, and suddenly the terms change.
But when his cousin comes to town, disguising himself as the
perfect husband with a plan to steal Jack's legacy, Jack
forces her to choose: love or money. A wrong choice throws a
startling chain of events in action. Can love and truth
triumph or will it be too late?
Forbidden Fruit by Anne Rainey
Veterinarian assistant, Ava Sweet has lusted after bad boy
Luke McGiffin since high school and she’s tired of him
treating her like a kid sister. It’s time to show the hunky
roofer her feminine side. The plan: let Jen, her best
friend, give her a makeover, and then tempt Luke right out
of his sexy jeans. But can Ava handle a man with such strong
appetites or is she in over her head?
To My Reader:
It’s a pleasure for me to create less than perfect heroines
that are easy to relate to and I especially had fun with Ava
Sweet. She’s one tough lady, but with a soft center. She
deserved a hunky bad boy to show her just how beautiful she is.
