In Lavinia Kent’s
luscious, erotic historical romance, a free spirit learns her true desires from
a master of the heart, of the body—and of the sweetest discipline.
Lady Bliss Danser, daughter of the Duke of Mirth, is a scandal waiting to erupt. Which is why her highly conventional brother wants to saddle her with Stephan Perth, Earl of Duldon, the only man he thinks will marry her. Worse, Stephan keeps threatening to punish her, to teach her just how a woman should behave. His words may cause Bliss to tingle in the strangest places, but that doesn’t mean she likes the man himself.
Stephan has secretly desired Bliss for years, but he knows how close he is to losing his beloved. Careful not to rile her impetuous heart, he promises only to aid Bliss in her search for another fiancé. And if she’s determined to understand the male body first, he’s happy to comply in that regard as well. However, she must follow his rules or face the consequences. Slowly he takes Bliss to the darker, steamier side of his world . . . where she realizes that Stephan is everything she’s ever wanted.
Bound by Bliss is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

Excerpt: Bliss stared about the Evanstons’ ballroom one more time. Surely it must be nearly time for dinner. If she didn’t receive her invite soon . . .
“I still can’t believe what you’ve said.” Angela
was not going to let their previous conversation go. “Your brother knows you
better than that and since Swanston married Louisa he’s seemed almost human.
You need somebody who enjoys a bit of fun. There must be a dozen lords you
could marry.”
Bliss kept her head turned away from her friend’s
far too penetrating gaze. She did want somebody fun—fun and undemanding—not
that she wished to marry at all. Why couldn’t they all just leave her alone to
live her life as she wished? Nobody was dependent on her. And her grandmother
had left her more than enough funds in trust to be sure that she was never a
burden. If only she were a few years older she would buy her own home and
settle far away from everybody, perhaps somewhere in the country where nobody
would be watching—certainly not a certain vexing earl who lived next door to
the family estate, an earl she could not seem to push from her mind. Not that
she wanted the boredom of the country, not yet. There were far too many
adventures she wanted to have first, too many things she wanted to know, to
try. The few days she’d spent with her dear friend Lady Ormande had left her
eager for more experience, for the chance to try those things so forbidden to a
well-born lady, things she hardly dared imagine. If only she’d had a chance to
learn if half the scandalous whispers about the lady were true before she
suddenly retired to Scotland without a word to Bliss.
“Are you even listening to me?” Angela complained.
“Sorry—and yes. It’s just that every time I think
about what my brother is trying to do, my mind freezes like a butterfly in
December. I think it’s really all about land. My father owns some finger of
land that used to be part of Duldon’s estate and he wants it back. I don’t
think either of them even cares about me.” Duldon certainly didn’t. He’d made
that clear years ago. It could only be the land that he wanted. Now if only he
would quit watching her.
“You know that isn’t true. Your brother cares a
great deal about you.”
Bliss did not miss that Angela said nothing about
Duldon. “Sometimes I think Swanston does care and then at other times I am not
so sure.”
“I don’t think your brother would spend so much
time trying to watch over you if he did not care.”
