Passionately independent and intellectually stifled, a sensual encounter with a seductive scientific researcher draws Lady Emily Henshawe into a forbidden romance, forbidden above all by herself, and into the toils of a scandalous liaison that threatens to turn her world upside down. Dreading that her unbridled encounter with Jonathon in the dovecote has left her pregnant, Lady Emily has only one way of keeping her secret love hidden. She must seduce her husband, with whom she's had no sexual contact for almost five years. Still stunningly beautiful and helplessly attractive at thirty, Emily employs all her sensual wisdom and captivating wiles, but Sir Jeffrey resists her every attempt. His disinterest in her body remains adamant, indeed shows signs of a deep and settled aversion. At her wits end, Emily discovers that her husband's lack of enthusiasm stems from a shocking perversion. She must lay herself open to unspeakable desires if she's to save herself from scandal and disgrace. Explicit, angst-y and salacious, 'In His Lordship's House of Ill Fame' is erotica and more than erotica, an 18,000 word novella that has an authentic period atmosphere and a passionate story to tell.
