A Victorian Cinderella novella tinged with sex-positive spice!
<--- READ THE FIRST CHAPTER NOW!
In TIGHT LACED, the first novella of the Dragon Duchess series, Lady Lacilia Bloomsbury (Lacy) is bereft after her beloved father dies, leaving her with a spiteful, conniving stepmother and a dim-witted half-sister, Sarah Jane.
When dashing Duke Darlington Moore of Blantyre Highmeadow arrives to pay his respects, Lacy’s stepmother figures out a way to blackmail him into marrying the highly undesirable Sarah Jane. After all, Blantyre has just suffered a horrible mining disaster, the duke’s estate is in jeopardy, and the countess holds a note that the duke is not able to repay.
The duke has no choice but to agree to the betrothal.
But after happenstance finds them alone in an inn one night, Lacy and Darlington uncover a burning desire for one another. One that cannot be contained. When the countess discovers the tryst, Lacy is called out as a “sexual deviant” and sent off to an asylum.
The lovelorn duke must make a choice. Keep his family solvent and marry a woman he does not love, or risk everything to clear Lacy, and save her from torturous “cures” where she will never feel pleasure again. With a little help from the late earl’s valet, Darlington sets off on a daring rescue.
This is the inaugural book in a series that explores the spicier side of late Victorian England, and centers around a family of headstrong, sex-positive women who defy period stereotypes.
Oh, yes, there are Alpha Dukes aplenty, and a bevy of villains who continually torment and thwart, but at the end of the day, these heroines create their own Happily Ever After, sometimes with their lovers and sometimes despite them.
These rather short, hot books may be a bit bold for the tame reader, but if you like your stories with heat and heart – with a bit of sass, humor and spark – perhaps you will enjoy these.
