Can true love begin with a lie?
The Pleasure Wars, Book 4
It has been a particularly trying day for Olivia Cranfield. Despite her impeccable manners, stylish clothing and posh accent, another protector has detected her lowborn status and rejected her out of hand.
When fellow courtesan Violet invites her to come to Bath to help with the wicked seduction of the scarred, reclusive Earl of Windbury, Olivia jumps at the offer, eager for some excitement and a change of scenery.
The moment Malcolm Graham lays eyes on the delectable woman lurking in the bathhouse alley, he knows she’s a decoy to keep him busy while her friend seduces the earl inside. For a moment, he allows her to play her game…but one touch, and all he can think about is ending the two years of self-denial he’s endured in the name of friendship.
Instant attraction quickly turns into a decidedly erotic affair that makes Olivia question all she’s ever known about passion. But when the truth behind Violet’s assignment comes to light, betrayal threatens to bring everything they’ve built crashing down around Olivia’s broken heart.
Warning: This book contains a lady lying for a good cause, a gentleman as loyal to his friends as he is passionate in the bedchamber, and a steamy affair that will change them both forever.AMAZON

Hi everyone and a big thank you to Mary for having me here today. It’s a very exciting time for me because on Tuesday my new series, The Ladies Book of Pleasures, launches with A MATTER OF SIN. The series centers around a scandalous book written by an anonymous lady that is circulating through Society and three friends whose lives are changed by it.
In the book The Ladies Book of Pleasures is both a sexual manual for ladies, and also a call to action for those women to leave behind whatever shame they have about their desires. Obviously, this would be a shocking thing for the time. And it is in the book (which is why the Lady is anonymous).
