Jane Austen fans who always wished her fun and witty books had more heat are likely to enjoy this sweet and spicy Regency romance.
Pestered by a persistent stammer, a regency lord with a keen interest in orreries and boxing—but not in talking—must find a way to woo his new mistress without words. He just hopes she can hear what's in his heart.
Recently widowed and increasingly poor, Thea's been reduced to sharing her rented room with rodents and arguing over every morsel (the mice usually win). So when a friend suggests Thea consider a scandalous alliance, she cannot help but be intrigued…though given the lackluster nature of her tepid marriage, she doubts her ability to tempt—much less please—an experienced man.
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.
