| Lyra Marlowe erotic romance that breaks a few rules |
Young, pretty and sexually inexperienced, Joy yearns to know what true
passion is. The prim and proper ladies who have raised her in their
orphanage will only say that sex is dirty, men are disgusting, and elves
are the most sinful creatures in the world. But Joy is eager and over-
ripe; she’s sure they must be wrong.
A beautiful sailor promises to answer Joy’s every question with sexual
passion. But when they are caught just short of consummation, he
abandons her and Joy is driven from her home by the scandal. She is
rescued from a frozen death by Aidan Clark, a prosperous silversmith.
The craftsman gives her shelter in his spartan home and offers her
employment as his housekeeper. He expects nothing more, but Joy –
still curious and still a frustrated virgin – insists on sharing his bed.
The results are brief and deeply disappointing.
Bek, a breathtaking coal-eyed elf, turns his seductive interest on Joy
and she is deeply tempted. But she is determined not to disgrace
Aidan. To her great outrage – and secret delight – the men come to an
arrangement. Joy will meet Bek in the forest on every full moon night
for one year, and Aidan will be paid a bag of rare elven silver for her
‘services’.
Sex with Bek is everything Joy had hoped for – sensuous, inventive,
unrestrained and deeply fulfilling. Her mundane life as Aidan’s servant
and companion is equally satisfactory. But when Joy begins to fall in
love with kindly Aidan, her heart will no longer let her body be shared.
She must learn the dark secrets of Aidan’s sexual past to help him
overcome his shame. And she must use everything she’s learned from
her elven lover to turn Aidan into the love and lover she truly desires.
