Simply Wicked

Book excerpt: A Regency-era libertine finds romance at a London brothel in this historical erotic romance by the New York Times bestselling author of Simply Shameless. Anthony Sokorvsky's only rule in life is not to have any, especially when pleasures of the flesh are involved. But his dark sexual pursuits have led him down a treacherous path that may cost him his fortune if he doesn't end his recklessness and wed. His salvation comes in the form of Marguerite Lockwood at Madame Helene's Pleasure House. Just one day in Marguerite's presence leaves Anthony lusting after her and fantasizing about all the ways he can bring her to new heights of delirious, scorching ecstasy . . . When Anthony Sokorvsky offers to escort Marguerite around London, she's not sure what to make of the intriguing—yet very sensual—man. And when he wastes no time in seducing her, she finds herself thoroughly aroused. No man before has managed to ignite the wild desire she now feels deep within her. Surrendering completely to Anthony's expert caresses, Marguerite is ready to finally have her erotic needs met—and to fulfill her lover's most wicked longings . . .
