But James plans to awaken Sarah to pleasure in order to forge a true union of body and soul. Yet close proximity to a man fills her with anxiety. Victoria Dahl’s ‘Lessons in Pleasure’ introduces Sara Hood, who is newly married to her beloved James, and should be blissfully happy… If only the long estranged couple had realised they were both invited and assigned the same bedchamber. In ‘The Naked Laird’ by Sally MacKenzie, the viscount’s house party promises to be one of the season’s highlights, and Lord and Lady Kilgorn are delighted to attend. At least, Victoria thinks it’s abandoned, until a dashing smuggler lures her into an adventure that defies every rule. She’ll even risk skinny dipping in view of an abandoned castle. Victoria Carswell, the hero*ine of Virginia Henley’s ‘Smuggler’s Lair’ will not be bound by society’s dictates.
