Seductive Silence: A Fun and Steamy Historical Regency
Publisher Description
"This is such an AMAZING story … compelling to read." Reader Review - Part 1 of 3; the HEA occurs in the third installment.
A desperate widow dares greatly…
Penniless since her husband's demise and now ousted from her home by his indifferent heir, a young widow reaches her wits' end—the end of her meager food stores, certainly. When her friend, a diamond of the demimonde, arranges a protector for Thea, she can do naught but agree. 'Tis that or starve.
But what happens when her previously passionless existence is challenged by the titled lord who now owns her favors? The brusque, rough-around-the-edges Marquis keeps to himself, is annoyingly silent, but kisses like a dream and Thea soon falls for the mysterious man she knows nothing about… Save for his generous nature, lusty sense of humor, and the grand accommodations he's provided.
As to the man himself? Secrets abound and Thea fears she may have exchanged homelessness for heartbreak.
Jane Austen fans who always wished her fun and witty books had more heat are likely to enjoy this sweet and spicy hot Regency romance.
Seductive Silence, an extended novella of 38,000 words, is Book 1 of 3 in the Mistress in the Making steamy Regency series, a fun, "sexy Jane Austen styled", emotionally satisfying tale told in three parts: Seductive Silence, Lusty Letters, and Daring Declarations.

Thea becomes a mistress
Brilliant book which I absolutely loved and would thoroughly recommend hoping that others enjoy it as well. Widowed and turned out of her home and being harassed by her landlord Dorothea (Thea) is intrigued when her friend Sarah who is a mistress to a Lord of the Realm offers to introduce her to one of her Lord’s friends to be a protector. Can this work?
