"Gardener," Deborah had said, flummoxed. "You want to shag a gardener. No, you want to hire a gardener so you can shag him." "I want to build a romance …" Victoria replied, harpooning a gherkin on the end of her knife, "…with a gardener." So begins Victoria's quest for a new household employee. With her garden in tatters and love life gone fallow after the untimely death of her husband five years before, she is desperate for a man to step foot on her lawn, ready to tend to her every need... more"Gardener," Deborah had said, flummoxed.

So begins Victoria's quest for a new household employee. With her garden in tatters and love life gone fallow after the untimely death of her husband five years before, she is desperate for a man to step foot on her lawn, ready to tend to her every need. Then in walks Robert. He's young, gorgeous, and blessedly alive, and just as eager to get into Victoria's knickers as she is to get out of them. They waste no time in getting to know each other better, but as Victoria's loneliness abates, the guilt creeps in to take its place. All she wants is more, but how she can she have him, love him, pay him…when everything about it feels so dirty? Part 1 of a three-novella erotic romance series. Fight Dirty (#2) will be available 1 April, 2014, and Play Dirty (#3) will be available 1 May, 2014. less

The house often seemed a vast space in the near-six years since Victoria's husband died, but it feels even emptier now when Robert's not there: the rooms larger, the ceilings higher, brighter, spotless. Yet Robert's not quite hollowed out his own space or staked his claim in her life, and unless Victoria can ever muster the courage to let the "L-word" pass her lips, he never will... moreThe house often seemed a vast space in the near-six years since Victoria's husband died, but it feels even emptier now when Robert's not there: the rooms larger, the ceilings higher, brighter, spotless.

Winter is here. Spring is coming. Robert has restored more than Victoria's garden in the past months, tended to more than a patch of earth that was left to go fallow following her first husband's death. Her bed is warm, her countenance glowing, and her friends – once they're able to look past his profession, his background, and the fact that she's been essentially paying him for sex – are the first to tell her that she's bloomed under his care. But Robert wants more. Robert wants life... moreWinter is here. Spring is coming.
