The historical genre is about to get steamy with today's release of Tight Laced by Roxy Soule, the first installment in her Dragon Duchess series. Keep reading to get a tantalizing glimpse of this Victorian-era erotic read with strong-willed heroines not afraid to go after what they want and learn even more about it by visiting the other sites hosting this tour. In honor of this release make sure to fill out the form below for the chance to win a $25 bookstore GC too!
Roxy Soulé’s debut Dragon Duchess series explores the spicier side of late Victorian England, and centers around a family of headstrong, sexpositive women who defy period stereotypes.
Oh, yes, there are Alpha Dukes aplenty, and a bevy of villains who continually torment and thwart, but at the end of the day, these heroines create their own Happily Ever After, sometimes with their lovers and sometimes despite them.
These rather short, hot books may be a bit bold for the tame reader, but if you like your stories with heat and heart – with a bit of sass, humor and spark – perhaps you will enjoy these.
EXCERPT:
Lacy sat bolt upright, bringing the covers to her throat. “Who is there?”
“Shhhhh. Lady Lacilia, I’ve come to—”
Lacy cupped her hands around an invisible dagger. A pretense she’d practiced over the years for just this sort of occasion. “I will slit your throat if you step any closer!”
She heard him laugh. A voice pealed from the dark, “Slit my throat? How would you explain that, pray tell?”
He feigned a high-pitched woman’s voice, “’If it please the court, my groom was attempting to offer me sweets in the night, and I never eat sweets in the night.’”
“Darlington! What are you thinking scaring me half to death?”
“I surmised you might be hungry and somewhat cold.”
“I had finally fallen asleep, you scoundrel!”
“I brought a tea cake…”
“A tea cake?”
“I raided the pantry.”
They were two voices in the night. No light, nothing illuminated, and Lacy, in spite of herself, became curious. “What sort of tea cake?”
“Lady fingers, My Lady. For your fingers.”
He came closer. She smelled butter. Confection.
“I am not decent,” she remembered.
“I can’t see a thing,” he retorted.
Darlington was now bedside. Now sitting on the bed, his leg next to hers. It was most unseemly, but the cake! Her stomach growled.
“The beast has awoke!” he teased.
“That soup was awful. Is the cake any better?”
“Why you spoiled lamb, you.”
“Well, is it?”
“See for yourself, Lacy.”
