    About this ebook

    What is a candlemaker to do when gas and electricity come into fashion and no one is buying candles?

     

    One day a hot wax spill on a customer turns out to be a happy accident, giving Lila an idea of how to turn her candle shop into an emporium of pleasure.

     

    As word gets around the town, Lila's candle shop becomes the most popular place for the wealthy and social elite to give in to their most secret desires. Pain and pleasure have never been so much fun!
