Petunia and the Pearl Diver: <\/strong>A hot Regency romance. Petunia needs money to save her aristocratic family. The pearl diver needs a woman to save him, body and soul. Their night together at a London brothel could solve both problems.\u00a0But can their relationship survive in the real world? Because walking away becomes impossible when one night\u00a0leaves them craving more\u2026and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book Hook:<\/strong> Once again, the pearl diver wondered at Petunia’s diction. Too well spoken for a brothel worker. \u201cWho are you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She scowled at him, again. \u201cPetunia.\u201d She raised a brow. \u201cYou?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He grinned. \u201cI imagine you\u2019d rather call me slave.\u201d At her blank look, he asked, \u201cOr servant? Footman? Driver?\u201d She shook her head, clearly bewildered. \u201cIsn\u2019t that why you\u2019re here? To pretend you\u2019re a grand lady enjoying a naughty tryst with one of her servants?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rush of color flooded her cheeks, turning them bright pink. Not a sight he expected to see in a brothel unless it was rouge lavishly applied to hide a street worker\u2019s age and to make her appear prettier. Petunia was pretty enough without rouge, and her blush screamed innocence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He yanked at his restraints, suddenly worried that he\u2019d walked into some sort of a nightmarish fantasy. \u201cWhat the hell is going on here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petunia didn\u2019t look evil enough to have set up the sort of sadistic scene that some men fancied in these sorts of places. And he\u2019d never heard of sadism being a sport particularly enjoyed by women, though he was in no position to know. He\u2019d spent years taking the King\u2019s shilling and fighting the little upstart Emperor all over the continent, and then, when he\u2019d been wounded and shipped back to bonny England, he hadn\u2019t been able to handle continual questions and false sympathy. Leaving for the South Seas had been the best decision he\u2019d ever made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The diving had strengthened his muscles, mended his weak leg, and allowed him to return to London a rich man. A very rich man. Pity that years of swimming and plenty of coin hadn\u2019t also guaranteed that his sex drive would return. He\u2019d give his entire fortune to reclaim the peace of mind and the virility of his much younger self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
