Do you dare open the door and enter a place like no other? In these three historical tales of sensual awakening, nothing that stimulates and titillates is taboo, ecstasy comes in many sizes, and pleasure is its own reward . . . a world of seduction and sensation, where inhibitions are unlaced...

The last of the Shelley triplets to remain unmarried, Juliana Shelley has never felt like she’s recognized as her own person. But now, scarred by a terrible attack, she’s never felt so alone. Or so tired of cleaning up every else’s mess. She longs for something just for herself. A taste of the desire that seems to make her sisters so very happy in their marriages. One desperate night, she goes to the wicked Donville Masquerade looking for trouble and finds a handsome, masked stranger more than willing to provide it.

Mary Quinn is almost at the end of her rope. After two years under her sister and brother-in-law's protection she may soon have to return to her terrible father's house if she cannot find a husband. In her desperation, she bumps into Edward, Marquis Woodley.

When the Jasper Kincaid, the Earl of Harcourt, offered to marry one of the infamous Shelley triplets, he was doing it for the dowry to refill his depleted coffers, not for anything so silly as love. But when he realizes it is Thomasina Shelley masquerading as his fiancée at their final engagement ball, not his true intended, a desire for her that he has been ignoring sparks. And when it becomes clear her sister has run away with another, an opportunity arises for a marriage with a much deeper connection.

Anne Shelley has always been known as the “wild” one of the infamous Shelley triplets and never has that been truer than when she ran away from her engagement with a scandalous man. She expects to be taken to Gretna Green for a hasty marriage, but instead, she is dumped off on a remote island in Scotland with his grouchy cousin, Rook Maitland.

Nimmt das Wildbret des Waidmanns seiner Frau die Luft zum Atmen? Kann Aberglaube Leben retten? Und warum starb der Büchernarr? Schon die kleinsten Unaufmerksamkeiten können tödliche Folgen haben. Bei Sekundenschlaf oder einem Postflug über den Dschungel in einer stürmischen Nacht ist das ja noch verständlich, bei einem Hexenturm oder einem Blind Date aber weniger. Und doch schleicht sich der Tod auf leisen Sohlen an. Wir schenken euch eine überraschende Wendung am Morgen, einen Schrecken gegen Mittag, eine Gänsehaut am Abend und spannende Träume für die Nacht.
