    Private Places
    by Robin Schone, Claudia Dain, Shiloh Walker, Allyson James

    Four all-new hot tales of yore, by the queens of erotic fiction.

    In The Men and Women's Club, USA Today bestselling author Robin Schone shares a tale of a man and a woman in a notorious club, who learn how very dangerous desires of the flesh can be.

    In A Night at the Theater, Claudia Dain heats up this collection with the story of two voyeuristic young courtesans who might just take part in a very public seduction at the theatre.

    In The Decidedly Devilish Duke, Allyson James has a card-playing, cunning widower and a desperate young widow learn that passion is the ultimate wild card.

    And finally, in Hunter's Mercy, Shiloh Walker introduces a short story of a woman saved by a shapeshifter. Now, if only she could think of a way to repay him...

    Rarely does such blush-worthy, heated erotica exist---and almost never all in one book.



    Robin Schone's Bio

    Hey! Some of you know me, but for those who don't, let me introduce myself. I love British Victorian history. In what other era can an author include dinosaurs in a romance novel ... and remain true to the times? The Crystal Palace c1854-1936 had a wonderful exhibit of life-sized, sculpted dinosaurs and other exotic exhibits. Think of the Chicago Field Museum and Six Flags of Great America all rolled into one. And while people in other eras indulged in hot sexual exploits--at least, through literature, art and music---the Victorian era left behind the largest collection of erotica of any other time. You know, classics like The Pearl and The Boudoir, all of which are still in print. In addition to loving paleontology and cool technology, our ancestors heroically fought to advance women's rights---not just to 'vote'---but to gain legal representation so that fathers/husbands/sons couldn't abuse them or lock them up in insane asylums simply because they were women. Warning: my books are driven by real-life history. Patriarchal laws affected women's daily lives, just as they do now. Oh, and my lovers explore the many facets of intimacy through explicit, erotic sex, just like our great-great-great-great-great grandparents did. So ... History. Dinosaurs. Sex. Law. The Victorians are my kind of people! I hope to make you, too a fan of this underrated and often misrepresented era. Please visit my website at www.robinschone.today to learn more about my books.
