Women are discovering themselves for the first time, engaging in clandestine pleasures--much to the chagrin of their over-prudish parents.

Decadent and loose in every way, Rose now finds herself in an intoxicating world where anything goes, and nothing is forbidden. With strict guidance from her provocative, alluring attendant and former friend, Thomas, Rose is taken on a wild ride of titillating self-discovery, learning what it means to abandon fear and surrender everything and stand firm and take full control.

    When she finds herself in the arms of John, Steward of The House--and a formidable lover--the match is a game-changer. The gauntlet is thrown, and power unleashes power. Rose learns what she’s truly made of In a time when modesty and prudence are revered. Her training shatters traditions, leaving her with forbidden knowledge few women possess.

      Just because Serena dances unclothed in the moonlight doesn’t mean she’s crazy. Her parents, desperate to cure their daughter of unusual behaviors at home, drop her off at The House, the town's local asylum. Locked away in a brutal environment, she’s feeling doomed and scared. The disruption uprooted everything she cared about. Serena thinks she's destined to stay at The House forever, locked away and forgotten. When she meets Daren, he offers a bargain she can’t refuse. As an attendant in this mysterious facility, he knows the perfect place where Serena’s passions will fit in beautifully. Wicked, deft, tantalizing, he schools her in all the ways of temptation and indulgence. When an old lover shows up unexpectedly, Serena’s desires and skills are put to the test. One wrong move could mean imprisonment at The House forever. A story of self-discovery, trust, and the harnessing of raw power to get what you want. ***Note: Books from the House Tales, including the companion book, Pleasure House, can be read in any order***
