A Seduction in Scarlet
Despre această carte electronică
As an honored widow and close companion to Queen Victoria, Lady Portia Ellerslie is captive to a life of public perfection. But privately, she still longs for the touch of a man. One lonely night, she gives in to her desires, and enlists Madame Aphrodite, the owner of London's most exclusive and erotic bordello, to arrange a wild one-night-only affair. Donning an alluringly dangerous scarlet dress and a veil to mask her identity, Portia arrives at the club ready to surrender to the long-suppressed desires raging inside her. Instead, she's shocked to lock eyes with Marcus Worthorne, the man she dreamed of in her former life as the vicar's daughter.
Marcus remembers the very proper Portia... but how did she become this mysterious, enticing lady in red? Marcus knows he can fulfill her most wanton fantasies; and he also knows that it will take more than one enchanted, evening; because one night of delight will never be enough for either of them!

Looking back, I always seemed to be writing something, but the first time I actually thought I might make a career as a writer was when I won the local short story contest.
Suddenly my name was in the newspaper and people had heard of me, and I was actually paid! Probably until then, although I had dreamed of being a writer, I had never expected to make a career from it. I thought writing was a hobby. After the contest win I began to wonder if, maybe, one day I would be able to write and not have to work to support my habit!
As well as writing for Avon in the USA, over the years I have written for Mills & Boon/Harlequin as Deborah Miles. Two of these early books have now been reissued as eBooks (See My Books Page). I also wrote as Lilly Sommers for the Australian market, and these books are being reissued in Germany and Australia under the name Kaye Dobbie.
I currently juggle my writing with sharing an old house and big garden with my husband, as well as far too many animals. Sometimes writing anything is a struggle but I keep trying because I love it.
