Bought for Ten Thousand Pounds!
Ex-soldier Frederick Challenger may own a share of London’s most secret gentlemen’s club, but he has long since stopped sampling its delights...until a beautiful woman auctions her innocence.
Georgiana Knight’s plan had been to lure in a villain, but instead she’s trapped the devil himself. And now, to protect her reputation, she must marry him! But if Frederick has hopes of taming this temptress, he’ll have to think again...
Hidden amongst the masked revellers of an underground Regency gentlemen’s club, where decadence, daring and debauchery abound, the four owners of Vitium et Virtus are about to meet their match!

One of the most frequent questions I get asked is, ‘Where do you get your ideas?’
The truth is, I don’t always know. Stories tend to come out of the swamp that is my mind. Sometimes they are sparked by a single idea—or by a desire to write a totally different, happier ending for something I’ve seen in real life.
In the case of series like this one they are a group effort, in which editors and authors have fun working together on a general roadmap for the story. But there is still plenty to go crazy on with the details, and in making the characters and their love story totally our own.
In the case of Georgiana Knight, I must admit that some of her obsessions came straight from my own past. I was a child of the Sixties—but not the exciting part of the decade. With a lack of money, and only three TV channels, I spent a lot of time making my own fun. That included visiting the mynah bird at the local shoe store, and lying on my belly in the driveway feeding sugar to ants.
And, in case you’re wondering, I have not experienced any of her other, wilder adventures. Not yet, anyway…
Happy reading!
