Virgin Encounter
Book #1 - Virgin Series of Gilded Age Erotic Romance
Late 19th century erotic romance.
Petty thief and consummate liar Daisy Crumbly scrambles to learn the rules of seduction in a risky scheme to swindle wealthy merchant James Cornell out of a fortune. Daisy's last vestige of innocence is on the line even before her plan goes awry. Then, the young pickpocket succumbs to her much older mark's dark magnetism and loses all to him: her innocence, her self-respect, her very idea of what love is and what it is not. And when he demands more of her, she surrenders that too until she is left with nothing more to give him...
Save herself, all of herself, every naked corner and honest inch of herself
The setting for the Virgin Series books returns to my familiar Boston. The late 19th century .... and the Boston Brahmins were at the top of the caste in New England. Many were descendants of Puritans who made vast fortunes as merchants in the new world they were the atristrocratic class in America but they lived by strict codes of behavior, dress, and life style. They make the perfect foil to a less fortunate immigrant of meager means.
Boston was undergoing dramatic changes in the late 19th century with the second wave of immigration and with annexation of surrounding towns and a massive project of filling in the Back Bay, the city was more than 25 times as large as it was in the beginning of the century. Boston was moving from it's roots as a port city to an industrial center in the northeast.
