Cavern of Pleasures Series

The last person Vale Montressor Aubrey, the Marquess of Dunnesford, expects to see walking into Madam Botreaux's Cavern of Pleasures is his wife. Fortunately, she does not recognize him behind his mask for he has no intention of revealing his secret life as a Dom to his new bride.

"Husbands, guard your wives." Though Lord Barclay dresses in far too much lace and carries a mother-of-pearl fan, Jonathan Weston cannot help but be a little awed by the handsome and seductive man. As the husband of the most beautiful woman present, Jonathan takes to heart the warning provided him. Frustrated at the lack of attention his wife provides him in the bedchamber, Jonathan will be damned if another man succeeds where he has failed. But as the evening progresses, a night of wanton taboo pleasure becomes unavoidable. Jonathan finds himself unable - and perhaps unwilling - to stop Lord Barclay's seduction.

Can a notorious rake seduce the ice mistress? Married to the unfaithful Earl of Lowry and scorned by her in-laws for not producing an heir for the earldom, Gertrude "Gertie" Farrington takes out her frustrations in the masked underground world of Madame Botreaux's Cavern of Pleasures. Concealing her identity there as "Lady Athena", Gertie is a domineering mistress with a peculiar propensity: She never allows a submissive to bring her to climax.

To save his estate, Montague Edwards, a known rake, agrees to the Earl of Frotham's proposition. The earl intends his son, the Viscount Tremayne, to marry well, but the viscount has fallen instead for the scandalous Lady Debarlow. To Abigail Debarlow, marrying the young viscount is a means to avenging her mother's death. Her plans to elope with the viscount, however, are upended by the handsome Montague Edwards. An accomplished seductress herself, she nonetheless finds herself at risk of succumbing to his advances.
