Wait? You haven’t heard
of me? You don’t know The Market Series?
Well let me tell you
about The Market Series. The books are a set of three novellas that take place
in and around a Victorian era London brothel called The Market. The brothel is
run by Madame Marie Marchander. It consists of three row houses. The main house
in the center contains the common rooms. From the street, the house on the left
is for the average customer who is there to see one of the ladies of the house.
The right side caters to those with less average desires and the income to
indulge them. Kinks of all kinds can be found on the right side. Voyeurs given
something to watch, floggings can be both given and received, domination
abounds, and orgies are not uncommon occurrences.
Reader’s Crown Rated 9.15
Love Revealed (The Market Series, Book 1)
Lady Katherine Drummond
plays by society’s rules, even after the Ton turns on her. Shunned by her
peers, she keeps up appearances by day but allows her true self out in the
privacy of The Market. There, in the arms of one man, she comes alive. So much
so, she signs a contract to be his for six months. Despite never having seen
his face and knowing him only as Sir, she fears losing her heart to the man who
breaks through her defenses.
Lord Raymond Tarkenton,
the Earl of Heathington, despises being one of the most sought after bachelors
of the Ton. He could never ask a woman of his circle to submit to his sexual
needs, and a mistress would never be an option. For now, one masked woman at
The Market holds his undivided attention. When he realizes that his masked
lover and Lady Katherine Drummond are one and the same, he must find a way to
convince her that they are bound together by more than the straps at her wrists
and the contract they signed. He must reveal himself and his love to her. But
will she accept him for more than a sexual escape?
Love Redeemed (The
Market Series, Book 2)
Brennan Whitling wants for nothing but the love of a good
woman. He has a close family, good friends, and a successful textiles import
business. But, a beautiful and elusive young woman he has only seen from afar
haunts him. Until a chance meeting leads to far more than dinner.
Serena Freemont has only ever known the life of a
prostitute. When an invitation to dinner by a handsome gentleman provides her
an opportunity to experience life as a young lady, it’s too tempting to pass
up. Much like the man issuing it. After a night of passion she must disappear
or face his reaction when the truth is revealed.
To find happiness Serena must shed her past long enough to
realize she is worthy of a future. To win her heart, Brennan must show her the
redemptive power of love.
Love Reclaimed (The
Market Series, Book 3)
Owner of one of the most successful brothels in London,
Madame Marie Marchander has seen and done it all. Jaded by the hand life dealt
her, she gave up on love the night her virginity was auctioned off twenty years
earlier. But then the boy, now a man, she once loved walks in to her
establishment.
Jonathan Pierce, Baron Heartfield, had waited too long to
save the woman he loved. A man no longer bound by the vows taken as a boy nor
under the influence of his father, he is determined to woo and win the heart of
the only woman he ever loved. The fact she was forced in to prostitution is of
little consequence beyond the guilt he bears for not interceding with her
father.
Resolved to prove to Jonathan that she is not in need of
saving, nor is she an appropriate wife, Marie agrees to take him as a lover for
six months. Steadfast in his love, he launches an assault on her heart with all
the strategy his years in the military afford him. His only goal, to reclaim
her love.
Sorcha Mowbray is a mild-mannered office worker by day…okay, so she is actually a mouthy, opinionated,
take charge kind of gal who bosses everyone around; but she definitely works in
an office. At night she writes romance so hot she sets the sheets on fire! Just
ask her slightly singed husband.
She is a longtime lover
of historical romance, having grown up reading Johanna Lindsey and Judith
McNaught. Then she discovered Thea Devine and Susan Johnson. Holy cow! Heroes
and heroines could do THAT? From there, things devolved into trying her hand at
writing a little smexy. Needless to say, she liked it and she hopes you do too!
