The Chaperon’s Seduction
and look for three more sinfully scandalous stories, coming soon!
For The Chaperon’s Seduction I have returned to one of my favourite historical places: the beautiful city of Bath. My story is set in 1802, when Bath was no longer the centre of the fashionable world but was still a popular location, and its shops were the very best to be found outside London. There were still a great many prosperous people living in Bath, and it is the perfect setting for a story that includes two rakish pastimes: gambling (the scourge of the era) and seduction.
Phyllida might be a widow, but she is still an innocent when it comes to dealing with rakish gentlemen—and there are few more infamous than Richard Arrandale, who is embroiled in a wager to seduce an heiress. The problem is the heiress just happens to be Phyllida’s stepdaughter …
Richard is increasingly attracted to Phyllida, and he becomes intent on protecting the heiress rather than seducing her. But as Phyllida is determined not to allow him anywhere near her precious stepdaughter this is not easy. As Richard himself says at one point, ‘I never thought turning respectable could be so exhausting.’
The Chaperon’s Seduction is a sparkling romance that simply flew onto the page. It was a joy to write and I do hope it gives you as much pleasure to read it.
