Blurb: After several disastrous engagements, Lady Minerva Peters is an expert at suppressing her own needs. Only in the darkness of night does she give in to her wanton desires with a fantasy lover.


In the middle of a crowded ballroom, she learns her father is not yet ready to let her fade into spinsterhood. Humiliated, she ducks into a dark alcove only to find out she's not alone. Her hiding spot is occupied by a captivating stranger. Before she can escape, the two become voyeurs to another couple’s sexual rendezvous. The atmosphere heats up and so does her body, especially with the tempting offers whispered in her ear.

Will Minerva deny her needs once again or will she embrace the anonymity of their seclusion and finally explore her basic impulses and the startling attraction to the compelling mystery man?
Review: WOW! Ms Lai has penned a wonderfully written story that just popped off the cyber pages. Well written and creative, I have to say that this little story went beyond my expectations.

I have read a lot of Regency stories lately, and this one was well worth the read. No doubt that Ms Lai has a knack for writing love scenes that are both titillating and sexy. I found myself riveted and wanting more when the story ended.

Blurb: Promised in marriage to an abusive oaf, Judith resolves to find out if there can be passion without love. Snatches of conversation overheard at the local Inn lead her to a mysterious American Merchant who might be able to satisfy her carnal curiosity and capture her heart.
Donovan, a Guardian Hunter, is on the trail of a rogue Elysian in Georgian England. As the son of the First Hunter, he long ago gave up hope of finding his heart's mate. When Judith appears in his study, his inner beast and his heart demand that he answer her plea for help.
Will their passion answer their hearts' pleas, or will it wither under the threat of reality?

Review: Mrs. Lai, you truly surprise me! In such a short span you have managed to have me intrigued with your world(s) and with your characters, even the ones that deserved to live humiliation. I honestly say I could put myself in (almost) each character’s position and completely understand the reaction. I applaud you for not having your main characters jump into the sack with each other, and allowing the time to pass.

My only issue with your work here; is to say that it was too short for me! I want more!! ;-)

Brilliant Mrs. Lai!
