Robin Schone
Historical/19th Century England
Desperate for her husband's attention, Elizabeth Petre approaches Ramiel, Lord Safyre, the son of an English countess and an Arabian sheik famed for his innate knowledge of sensual arts of the East.
Elizabeth begs Ramiel to teach her how to seduce her husband, who hasn't touched her since their spare heir was conceived years before.
Under Ramiel's compassionate tuition, Elizabeth's eyes and mind are opened to secrets far more daunting than her burgeoning sexuality. And Ramiel is driven to ensure Elizabeth won't be destroyed by the knowledge she was so eager to gain.
Robin Schone writes beautiful, literate erotic romance, filled with arousing language and evocative imagery. She creates intriguing plots with dark themes, balanced by the promise of romance, and characters with still-hopeful natures.
Equally compelling, Schone examines the humanity of her characters, especially "the rake," and always accurately depicts mores of the time period in which she's writing.
