Secret Pleasures is available for free on Amazon until midnight tonight California time. It’s the second book in The Pleasure Series but it stands alone so it won’t spoil anything for you if you haven’t read the first book.

I love a reformed villain, and though Darien wasn’t exactly a villain in Improper Pleasures, he had a lot of problems to overcome. When I created Ivy and Darien and their troubled past, I hadn’t planned on them being the next book. Healing their unrequited love seemed almost impossible.  Which is exactly why I had to write the story. Ivy so deserved her happy ending!

Here is a short description of their story:

First ruined by circumstance and then by choice, Ivy Templeton wishes nothing more than to retire from notoriety as one of London’s most well-paid courtesans.   Unfortunately, neither Georgian society or her ex-fiancé, Darien Blackmore, will let her forget her past.  Though Ivy prays Darien doesn’t believe the rumors that she ended their engagement to become his father’s mistress, she can’t deny her long-time liaison with his former friend.  Since Darien has become a drunk and a recluse, Ivy suspects he has heard every torrid thing ever whispered about her.

When Darien learns of his father’s engagement to a girl young enough to be his granddaughter, Darien hopes to stop the wedding. He persuades Ivy to join him in his quest, letting her believe she could somehow atone for their bitter breakup. Knowing he might never be able to forgive her, he also has never stopped loving her.  Once he has Ivy back on his family estate, nothing will stop him from keeping Ivy or discovering the secrets his father desperately wants kept silent.   If only the truth Darien longs to uncover doesn’t become the one thing that will keep he and Ivy apart forever.

Hope you have a chance to take a peek. Enjoy.
