The Lover - Softcover

EVEN DESIRE HAS ITS PRICE...

Thirty-six year old Anne Aimes is a spinster whose only attraction is her wealth. But her plain looks mask a passionate woman who yearns to know a man's intimate caresses. Michel des Anges -- Michael of the Angels -- is renowned for his ability to bring women to pleasure. All it will cost her is ten thousand pounds...

Driven by vengeance, ravaged by tragedy, Michael seeks to lose himself in a woman who will demand only physical pleasure. A woman who won't suspect his own aching needs -- or his true motive for accepting her terms. Unable to resist the lure of her guileless desire, he plunges her into a deadly web of deception and revenge where the price of carnal ecstasy is life itself...

My life has been ruled by...dinosaurs...romance...and sex.

You are no doubt asking yourself, What do dinosaurs have to do with romance and/or (gasp) sex? No, I am not into bestiality. It's really quite simple. You see...

When I was six years old, my mother took me to see a double matinee. One movie was about dinosaurs, which I loved, and the other was a sappy romance (or so I thought at the time), which she loved.

Well, it took a few years, but I finally decided there is something to that man-woman stuff. I read my first romance novel at the age of 12 (These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer), and I read my first erotic novel when I was 15 (The Way of a Maid by Mario Clement). Now I write...erotic romance books.

Where does my love of dinosaurs fit into all this? Archaeology (or paleontology, for you etymologists out there). Which in turn led me to explore ancient cultures. Think India...and Tantra, the Indian cult of ecstasy. Or in modern history, think Arabia...and The Perfumed Garden of Sensual Delight, an Arabic treatise on erotic love.

See if you can match my titles below with the research material I used to write them: Awaken, My Love; The Pearl (an underground erotic); The Lady's Tutor; Tantra; A Lady's Pleasure Captivated; and The Perfumed Garden of Cheikh Nefzaoui.
