She wanted just one naughty carriage ride...
Poor but beautiful Beth McConnel tries to be a good, dutiful young woman by working in her family's shop. But inside she craves adventure. In the afternoons, she slips away from all the drudgery to lead a secret life as a seductress of wealthy gentlemen. She gives herself once and leaves them burning for more.
When she boldly seduces Grey Sexton, a powerful New York shipping magnate, she finds his ice-over-fire combination of ironclad self-control and sensual indulgence too tempting to resist. Perhaps this time one or two additional clandestine trysts will not hurt. A short fling may very well be worth the additional risk...
But Grey Sexton demands more than she's willing to give. His possessive determination to own her, body and soul, threatens to expose her secret erotic life to public shame. Beth risks losing her good name - and thereby losing her place in her brother's home and everyone and everything dear to her.
When Grey gives her an ultimatum, can she walk away from the most exciting, intriguing gentleman she's ever known? Can a poor girl without family connections ever trust her heart to a gentleman?
Reader Advisory: Grey's Lady is an erotic / hot historical romance. It contains scenes of frequent, explicit sex and graphic sexual language. It contains a non-traditional romance plot and an unconventional heroine.
Two Lips Reviews honored Grey's Lady with the "Reviewer's Choice Award"
"...wickedly hot...a woman who is quietly determined to own her sexuality and make her own rules. With likeable characters, frank and occasionally bawdy dialogue, Ms. Blackthorne's book captured my attention from the first page...The scenes between Beth and Grey are not only smoking hot but full of verbal give and take." ~ Rose of Two Lips Reviews.
Miz Love and Crew Love Books rated Grey's Lady a "Top Pick"
"Grey Sexton...the most controlling, out-of-control, gorgeously outrageous package of masculine arrogance I ever wanted to bed. Pair him with beautiful Beth McConnell--a lady who is very much not a lady--and you have...sumptuous dynamite. Dark, light; virile, feminine; rich, not-so-rich; big, small. Smoldering...The sex scenes are indescribably arousing. Particularly a scene with a costly pearl necklace..a must-read. Cute, hot-as-hell sexy and lovely, eloquent prose to boot..." ~ Miz Z of Miz Love and Crew Love Books.
"This was an intriguing look into the sex lives of two people constrained by the era they were born in. ... Grey and Beth were perfect for one another but feared revealing themselves fully. ... A very emotional read that really had an edge in political influences that drove the characters." ~ Chris of Night Owl Reviews, Sept 21, 2011.
