Fiona Turner is about to face two, equally impossible challenges: repair a deteriorating, centuries-old estate in time to host the Queen of England, and turn an all-American farmer into a proper English duchess.

Fresh off a painful divorce, Fiona seizes the opportunity to renovate Alabarden Park and assist its new duchess, Alice Stewart—an effervescent, unpretentious American whose open attraction to Fiona intrigues and unsettles her. As their mutual feelings grow stronger, the professional distance Fiona put between them begins to crumble.

Now, Fiona is faced with two new, equally impossible challenges: keep Alice out of her battered, broken heart, or risk everything and let her in.


A deliciously intense erotic romance. Two resilient women, both juggling the weight of heavy pasts, find healing and hope in one another.

Jennifer Dupont lives a successful solitary life as crème de la crème of San Francisco’s most elite escort service. To clients, she is the Director, an imposing beauty with a fondness for expensive whisky, tailored suits, and uncompromising control. It’s a fitting persona even outside work, as old wounds have left her unwilling to risk her heart. That is, until she meets her newest client.

Over a decade has passed since Theodosia “Dosie” Fisher was rescued from an isolated, abusive cult founded by her father, and while years of therapy have earned her an emotional maturity most never acquire, her body remains neglected, riddled with questions she has long been afraid to confront. So, when her two best friends suggest she hire an escort as a pressure-free way to explore, she decides to go for it.

The attraction is immediate, the curiosity and connection even more so. Every exchange is electric. Every touch sparks. Every kiss siphons secrets and edges them nearer a level of intimacy that Dosie has sought all her life. Jennifer, on the other hand, has only ever wanted the opposite.
