The Delicate art of
Pretense…And Steamy Erotic Regencies
When I was in college,
my best friend and I loved to travel through Europe. Between us we spoke five
languages (at least enough to get food and find the toilet, as you will agree,
are the most important things in life). We considered ourselves linguists, even
though our French was execrable and I had the German of a Schwabian
guttersnipe. Which, trust me, was not a good thing.
In addition to being
linguists of note, we were also pranksters and our favorite thing to do was
find a seat in a train compartment, surrounded by people, and speak to each
other…in a language we made up.
Being college
students—and therefore unduly arrogant and quite open to alcohol consumption—we
found it hysterical to listen to them wonder where we were from.
Did I mention I am
easily entertained?
But there is a reason
for this confession.
In my newest steamy
erotic Regency, Dark Fancy, both Helena and James are pretending to be someone
they’re not. Helena, because she’s running from an unwanted marriage and James
because, well, he wants to seduce Helena.
My question for you
is: Have you ever pretended to be someone you are not? And did it result—as it
did for Helena—in a sexy spanking?
Oh, do tell. Inquiring
minds want to know!
I have attached the
blurb and a steamy excerpt for your enjoyment. Dark
Fancy is available on Amazon
for preorder and at e-tailers everywhere after February 22nd.
Dark Fancy
By Sabrina York
When Lady Helena
Eloise Simpson flees an unwanted marriage to a revolting lord, she finds refuge
with James, a charming, handsome man unlike any she’s ever known. Helena
concocts the perfect solution to her problem. She asks—begs—James to ruin her.
Surely her betrothed will repudiate her if she is no longer pure. And if all
her efforts fail and she still ends up married to a horrid man until the end of
her days, she will—at least once—have known true passion.
But James is not all
he seems. He is, in fact, a wicked lord with a dark fancy. When Helena awakens
his desire, he becomes determined to take everything she has to offer and more.
No matter the cost.

James stared at
Eloise, brave, proud, innocent Eloise. He could relate to the passion in her
plea. He had a sudden desire to be released from a betrothal himself. He
fiddled with the corner of his napkin. “There is always the chance your
betrothed won’t care if you’re ruined.” Some men did not.
Her lashes fluttered.
When they rose again, there was a look in her eye that sent lust coursing down
his spine. It settled in his cock. “If I’m to be married to a bilious flounder
of a man for the rest of my life, I should like to know passion just once. Just
once, James.”
“J-just once?” His
voice cracked.
Her smile blossomed.
“Perhaps more than once.”
He had to laugh,
although this was clearly no laughing matter. “My dear. I would be happy to
oblige.”
“Excellent!” She
clapped her hands with glee.
Unfortunate, that,
because it made her look, once again, like a little girl. But then she picked
up her cup and ran her pink tongue around the rim, lapping at the wayward
drops. He reached for the second bottle.
She held out her cup
for a refill. “You will need to show me what to do.”
He almost forgot to
stop pouring. Hell yes. He’d love to show her what to do. He’d love to instruct
her—in elaborate detail—what, precisely, to do. Something snarled in his belly.
His palm itched.
He forced down that
decadent desire. Chained the beast.
For God’s sake. She
was an innocent, a virgin. If he opened with that card, not only would she
truly be ruined, she would probably hie off to the nearest nunnery and spend
the remainder of her life in seclusion.
Oh, he would bed her.
He would despoil and beguile her, but only in the very gentlest of fashions.
But his fantasies, the
darkling imagery of what he would truly like to do, simmered.
“Are you…” He cleared
his throat. “Are you ready for your bath?”
“Heavens, yes.” Once
again, she clapped her hands.
The childlike gesture
was off-putting since, at the moment, he was thinking of sinking his cock into
her body and swallowing her moans with his mouth. But he liked her enthusiasm.
It also made him desire—very deeply—to tie those hands to the bedposts. So she
couldn’t clap them.
Why that thought made
him salivate, he didn’t know.
Ah hell. Of course he
knew.
Despite the lust
snarling through him, he managed a modicum of chivalry, although it was
perfunctory at best. “I’ll fashion a curtain.”
Her next words nearly
unmanned him. “You don’t need to.”
“I b-beg your pardon?”
“You don’t need to
bother with a curtain.” For a shy and demure innocent, she had something of a
brazen streak. “I mean, if we’re going to…you know…”
“Make love?”
“Yes. If we’re going
to make love, you will see me naked anyway.” A frown crossed her brow. “Won’t
you?”
He chuckled. “Most
certainly.”
“I thought so. But
people are not very forthcoming when one asks about such things.”
“Really?” That had not
been his experience in the slightest. Then again, she was a girl. The world
sought to save and protect innocence. Until it ravaged it.
He did not know why he
trembled as he poured the heavy buckets into the tub. He was a man of the
world. Jaded and used to much more decadent fare than initiating virgins to the
delights of the flesh. He should hardly be nervous about the prospect of having
her.
Then again, maybe it
wasn’t nerves. Maybe it was just pure, seething desire.
