Lily D'Artiers was an awkward 15-year-old when 23-year-old Webb Dryden broke her heart. Now, at the age of 20, she's a graceful, beautiful widow, but she never forgave Webb for his inept handling of her schoolgirl crush. Webb, who's spent the intervening years as a British spy, has recently been slightly wounded while escaping from Bonaparte's Tuileries guards. When he learns that an emergency in France requires that he accompany a female spy posing as a French heiress, Webb willingly accepts the assignment. In an odd twist of fate, the substitute for the heiress turns out to be Lily. None to happy about the prospect of working with Webb, Lily conceals herself under black widow's clothing and sallow face powder, and pretends to be silly, absentminded, and clumsy. Despite her apparent ineptitude and his frustration with her fumbling, Webb finds himself oddly attracted to Lily. And when she finally emerges from her disguise, he's not only stunned--he's consumed with lust. Sensing his feelings for her--and fighting her own reignited desire--Lily is determined not to give in to the handsome spy. But when the two are catapulted into dangerous circumstances that bring them ever closer together, how long will they be able to deny the love that they both long for? Get ready for excellent adventure, dangerous escapes, steamy sensuality, and a surprise ending in this choice historical from a talented author. --Lois Faye Dyer

HOUSE OF PAIN,
by Pantziarka, Pan |
20.00
|
When a young streetwalker is picked up by an enigmatic older woman, she finds herself launched into an odyssey of pleasure and pain beyond measure. Lost in a night world, and thrown to the lusts of her anonymous captors, she must submit to their increasingly bizarre rituals of pain and degradation in order to find salvation.
House of Pain provides a glimpse of living Hell as a young woman is abandoned to the throes of rage, violence and cruelty which feed the sexual impulse. It remains probably the most extreme document of sadism and pornographic intensity since the writings of de Sade himself.

THE PORTRAIT,
by Chance, Megan |
10.00

Jonas Whitaker is an artist with a studio in New York where he paints, carouses and sometimes teaches students. He has a powerful patron who has promoted him to the position of prominence he holds at the time the books opens. He is also alienated from his family because he suffers from a condition that today would be termed bi-polar disorder or manic-depression. In the 19th century it was simply madness.
Imogene Carter is the daughter of a wealthy dilatante artist who lives in Nashville (the Athens of the South). Her sister had been a talented young artist, but her sister had died. In an effort to please her father, Imogene has come to New York, where her godfather has secured for her a place among Jonas Whitaker's students.
