My Most Sensual Title--An Aspiring Courtesan

 

Looking for a little spice, but with a genuine and heartfelt love story? Then check out my most sensually explicit and romantic love story.

An Aspiring Courtesan

Olivia Everton—Livvy, wants to be a courtesan. She has a naturally sensual nature and a good idea of what the position entails, thanks to a little verbal tutoring from her aunt who was once a courtesan herself. The only problem is, she has absolutely no experience, at least… not yet.

Livvy’s older cousin Alina, has been head housemaid to Derek Hansford, the Earl of Devensley, for more than ten years. He is a kind man, the job is secure and comfortable, and he has a delicious friend in Dalton Bayworth, the Duke of Borden, who has been Alina’s occasional lover on his many visits to Devensley Castle for years.

The only problem with this arrangement is that Alina has now determined to marry George, the head footman, so her dalliance with the delightful duke must come to an end. And Livvy’s can begin, that is, if the sensual rogue is willing to take on and train a young and willing virgin as his lover. And to assist her on her path to becoming a high class courtesan.

The duke agrees to allow Livvy to spend the week with him during his stay at Devensley Castle, while he dodges the matchmaking machinations of two visiting families, and soon finds himself entranced with the naturally sensual beauty and her eagerness to learn.

Livvy’s impact stretches to his best friend the earl, and a curious young debutante in this playfully sensual and erotic tale. (This book contains two love stories in one.)

The Jewel Thief

    

A mischievous ghost, a bewildered and fascinated earl, a masquerade ball and some ghostly surprises feature in this lighthearted Regency romance.

Griffin Blackstone, the Earl of Blakenheath, is resting in his room after a long journey to attend a house party at Tallander Castle with his younger sister Lissy. While she is out exploring the castle grounds with her long-time nanny, Griffin hears a strange sound in the room adjoining his own and hurries to investigate, but instead of a maid he discovers a shimmering apparition wearing his sister Lissy’s jewels.

Upon discovery, the spirit immediately disappears. Shocked but curious, he tamps down his initial alarmed instinct to dash out of there and waits for her to reappear. After all, even if he left she’d still be there and he can hardly have his sister return to a room bearing a ghost. But the playful and curious young specter is not easily deterred from her goal of acquiring the shimmering jewels, and Griffin finds himself in the strange predicament of trying to understand the ghost—that he discovers is known historically as the White Silhouette—and her motives.

He nicknames her Magpie as she is attracted to shiny objects. But his research shows her to be a young woman named Melissande DeMesurier Tallander who died of influenza a hundred years earlier.

Tallander Castle is up for sale, and not only is their hostess, the current Miss Tallander, hoping for a buyer, but she has also attracted many of the guests to the party by informing them that they are welcome to search the castle for the long missing Tallander jewels, though Griffin suspects he knows exactly who has stolen them.

Take Care of Your Tired Eyes

Take Care of Your Tired Eyes

 

My husband recently had eye surgery and it made me think how very precious our sight is, and how in the era of our constant use of computer devices, we should all try to take better care of our vision. As avid readers and book lovers I’m sure many of us suffer from tired or dry eyes.

Look away from your computer screen often, remember to blink frequently it lubricates your eyes, try using a glare filter on your screen, or computer glasses that filter the glare for you.

Don’t rub your eyes with your fingertips, especially now with covid on the loose. Place a warm wash cloth over your eyes for several minutes once a day.

Use lubricating eye drops.

Try to keep the area around your computer/office area as dust free as possible

Make sure you remove all eye make-up thoroughly every night. Also consider using disposable mascara wands so you are not putting the used wand back into your mascara, (most, if plastic can be washed and reused many times over, not only will you not transfer any germs from your eyelashes into your mascara, but you will have better control over how much mascara you are applying.)

Try using a different filter when reading on your kindle especially at night, I use a black background with a white font, it’s easier on my eyes and doesn’t illuminate the room as much. Too much light can keep you awake, we read to relax at bedtime, right?

And when you take a book or device to the beach, be sure to wear your sunglasses.

What are your favorite tips for easing your tired eyes?
