Jane Godman | Yours in Anticipation....

In the newly released second book of the Georgian Rebel series, TAMING HIS REBEL LADY, newly wed Lady Iona Roxburgh is faced with a difficult dilemma… How to seduce her husband! Having tried taking matters into her own hands (with disastrous and sometimes comical results), I picture her turning in desperation to the 18th century equivalent of an advice columnist or, as we call them in here the UK, an ‘agony aunt’.

Dear Madame M______,

I recently married for the second time. The circumstances were somewhat unusual and I will not bore you with the details. My problem is a delicate one. Although I have been married before, I am seeking your advice in matters of the bedchamber. I was very young when I wed my first husband and he was an older gentleman, who initiated me into the ways of sexual intercourse. Although I never enjoyed it very much (I found all that grunting and panting most unpleasant) it was over with quickly and it didn’t happen very often.

When I told my new husband, who is only a few years older than I, that I knew my duty, he laughed and called me foolish. On our wedding night, when I lifted my nightgown and offered to use my hand to make him hard (the way I used to with my first husband) he said he preferred romance and told me to go to sleep. Since then we have slept in separate rooms.

You may wonder what my problem is, since many women of my acquaintance would be delighted at this arrangement! Initially, I was quite relieved that I would not have to perform my wifely duties, but now I find myself increasingly attracted to my husband. He is certainly the most handsome man I have ever seen. Indeed, whenever I am near him, my heart races quite uncontrollably and I get the strangest feelings. My sister-in-law, Martha, tells me it is called ‘desire’ and that it is as natural as breathing. She bemoans the fact that my brother, Fraser, raised me almost as a boy and that, as a result, I have no notion of how to flirt. Between us, Martha and I concocted a plan for how I could seduce my husband, but it all went horribly wrong.

The thing is, I believe he may be attracted to me in return. I see a look in his eyes now and then that makes me shiver. It leads me to imagine that the marriage bed with my second husband would be a very different place to the one it was with my first…

So my question, Madame M______, is a simple one. Please tell me how can I discover if my husband is attracted to me, and, if he is, how can I tempt him into my bed?

Yours, in anticipation,
Lady Iona Roxburgh

About TAMING HIS REBEL LADY

Can the heat of passion burn too bright?

In the six months since the Jacobites met defeat at Culloden, the English have ruthlessly routed the remaining rebels. Now Sir Edwin Roxburgh rides to claim Cameron House, his reward for his loyalty to the king.

His welcome comes at the point of a sword. It’s only after a fierce fight that Edwin discovers that underneath the banned tartan, the “boy” he’s just wounded is none other than the lady of the house.

If the crown thinks Lady Iona Cameron will allow an English soldier to turn her out of her own home, the crown is sadly mistaken. She never thought her desperate attempt to defy authority would send her to a traitor’s death—unless she agrees to marry Roxburgh.

Edwin quickly realizes he has his hands full trying to control the fiery, rebellious widow— and trying to control his own desire to fill his arms with her beautiful body. But he has a dark past that makes love not only impossible, but dangerous—especially if Iona manages to slip past his guard.

Warning: Contains a rebellious heroine with a secret identity, and a hero with a secret past who’s determined to tame her wild ways. Be warned: his methods are erotically unusual.
