The English Courtesan

Mistress Hannah Leeds is desperate to prove to the Duke of Buckingham that her uncle has been wrongly accused of treason, so she is going to the only extreme she can think of. The duke is traveling to the Chateau de La Grotte Cachee for some hunting and sport; following him is her only option. However, to do so, Hannah must convince Domenico Vitturi that she's ready and willing to become one of the chosen few trained as a Venetian courtesan by the residents at the Chateau. Once Hannah arrives, she must find a way to get the duke's attention, but she finds herself strangely distracted by Signore Vitturi and the seductive lure of Grotte Cachee.

Hunger

Turek can't believe his luck when he stumbles upon Lili, the woman he blames for putting him in prison for 40 years after baring his heart and soul to her, as well as her lover, Elic, who gave him a beating he is never likely to forget. Turek is compelled to follow Lili and Elic in hopes he can find a way to gain entry into their world without upsetting Galiana, his 3000-year-old vampire sire. Turek's luck holds as he gains entry to the famous Chateau de La Grotte Cachee. Unfortunately, Galiana follows him, with ideas of her own that threaten to jeopardize his satisfaction of revenge.

Once again the tales of the Chateau de La Grotte are intriguing and compelling with fantastic twists to keep you begging for more. I loved it!

SUMMARY

Two linked tales are set in an ancient castle where four exquisitely beautiful beings who thrive on carnal energy entice and ravish their human guests.

Hannah Leeds is The English Courtesan, a seventeenth-century maiden who apprentices herself as a courtesan-in-training to Venetian nobleman Domenico Vitturi, offering her body in exchange for his patronage. Don Domenico has resigned himself to a life without love, his once-handsome face having been disfigured by the scars of war. He brings Hannah to the Castle of the Hidden Grotto to be tutored in the arts of love by its insatiable and inventive residents, little knowing that she has come for more than just an erotic education….

In Hunger vampires Anton Turek and Galiana Solsa satisfy their voracious erotic appetites while feeding on their prey. Weary of playing lapdog to the powerful, sadistic Galiana, Anton renews his quest to possess Lili, the beautiful succubus with whom he’s been obsessed for centuriesβ€”while Galiana sets her sights on the godlike, sexually ravenous Elic, whom Lili loves but can never make love to. Desire and vengeance reach a fever pitch at the Castle during an invitation-only Renaissance festival with a BDSM twist.
