TEMPTATION by
LEDA SWANN
An
innocent letter inspires a wanton passion . . .
Virginal Beatrice Clemens had
only the most noble of intentions in mind when she began a
correspondence with Captain Percival Carterton, her
brother's comrade-in-arms. She meant for her warm and open
letters to ease a brave soldier's loneliness far from home.
For Percy, however, each word was passionate fire, inflaming
his need for the unsuspecting young nurse . . . and his
desire to touch, taste, love, and possess her forever.
Now back in London, Percy has
resolved to win the lovely Beatrice before she is betrothed
to another man. Percy charts a course of brazen seduction
designed to awaken Beatrice to hitherto unexplored delights,
thereby compromising her reputation and forcing her to wed
him instead. A bold plan of action involving scandal and
surprise, it may open a Pandora's box of hot, unrestrained
sensuality that could carry the virile soldier and his
willing lady to ruin—or to breathtaking new heights of
ecstasy.

CAPTIVE by
LEDA SWANN
"What
is the opposite of déjà vu?
Louisa Clemens entered the parlor, stopping in consternation
barely a few paces into the room. Peculiarly, the room felt
different, as if she had never set foot in it before. After
working six years for the Winterbottoms she knew every inch
of their parlor: the blue carpet patterned with roses, the
chintz-covered sofas, the ormolu clock on the mantel, the
glass case full of ferns in the corner of the bay window -
and yet she felt as if she had never been here before.
Plastering a façade of normality over her feeling of sudden
strangeness, a difference caught her eye, and she turned her
head to look to the side of the room where a man stood – a
man who was unabashedly staring at her. He was definitely
not the sort of man she would expect to see in the
Winterbottom’s parlor, assembled amidst all their other
guests. Once more she faltered, the sensation of foreignness
overcoming her."

MISTRESS by
LEDA SWANN
She knew she was playing with
fire...and she was eager to burn.
The very thought of an
innocent young woman - a teacher at a fusty finishing school
- modeling for a series of titillating photographs to be
sold at London's bookstalls is scandalous. But orphaned
Emily Clemens's destitute circumstances have left her little
choice. It is all part of her plan to capture the attention
of some well-heeled roué who will then make her his pampered
mistress. So the untouched beauty sheds her outer garments -
and her inhibitions - to strike provocative poses before the
lens of handsome photographer Eric Twyford.
But each seductive attitude
she assumes is stoking a fire within that Emily never knew
existed - and the heat is spurring her on to ever-greater
heights of sensuous abandon. Still, the devilishly desirable
Eric, a consummate professional, remains unmoved by her
erotic display. If Emily cannot arouse a man in the flesh,
what hope does she have as a black-and-white postcard?
She has already gone far
beyond the boundaries of propriety. Now Emily's brazenly
determined to go even farther - to seduce Eric, letting him
take her to intoxicating places she has never been. But once
she has reached ecstasy, will she ever be able to leave?

beauty and spirit.

is unlike any other man Bess knows. She is powerless to
resist him. But when a jealous rival for Bess' affections

The PRICE of DESIRE by
LEDA SWANN
Caroline Clemens comes to a scandalous arrangement with
Dominic Savage. Penniless and responsible for four younger
siblings following the death of their debt ridden father,
she agrees to become the willing plaything of this darkly
dangerous man who has saved her family from the workhouse -
and in repayment, she will fulfill his every physical
need...eagerly and without hesitation.
Rather than feel shamed by her long fall from innocence
Caroline finds her new life exhilarating - for Savage is a
remarkably skilled lover who knows the secret paces to
enter, taste and touch that will drive a woman to new
heights of ecstasy. He would never falsely promise her a
wedding - unlike her faithless fiancé who betrayed,
insulted, and abandoned her. And she will repay his honesty
with night after torrid night of delicious erotic games,
taking their passion further than either of them ever
dreamed possible.
But Dominic will not be satisfied with owning Caroline's
ripe a luscious body, for he secretly desires one thing that
she dares not surrender to him. Dominic wants Caroline's
heart...and he will not rest until she succumbs.

of another. But there are passionate lessons to be learned
if she joins the lovers in their erotic hideaway...
To possess a bride as voluptuous and exciting as Cora

imagination to make Cora's most wicked secret fantasies come
true.

PARLOR GAMES by
LEDA SWANN
Sarah Chesham pushed open the door to the coffee house and stumbled over the threshold. The interior smelled heavenly – of dark roasted coffee beans and mouth-watering grilled meat – but it was dark and smoky, and her tired eyes took a few moments to adjust to the dimness of the light.
She made her way through the gloom to the closest table and sat down at it, settling her skirts over tops of her sturdy work boots. Elbows resting on the table and her head in her hands, she concentrated on catching her breath and calming the over-rapid beating of her heart.
A buxom young woman in an apron bustled up to her. “What can I get you,
dearie?”
Sarah raised her head. “A ha’penny cup of coffee. And a chop,” she added with reckless haste, just as the serving woman had turned to walk away.
