Gabriel's Woman: A Novel of Erotic Romance FROM OUR EDITORS
In 2000, Robin Schone introduced readers to a pair of remarkably handsome, sensual men in her erotic historical romance The Lover. Michel and Gabriel met as boys, and were trained by a French madam to fulfill the sensual desires of those who sought their services. That was half a lifetime ago. Now, in Victorian England, the two are still closer than brothers, but their services are no longer for sale. Michel recently married (in The Lover) despite the scars that marred his beauty. But Gabriel, whose scars are a matter of spirit, not flesh, holds himself apart from the pleasure of touch, though he has used his sensual expertise
to create a place in which every desire can be
fulfilled. The House of Gabriel is the bait to his trap for an enemy he cannot name, and when an impoverished 34-year-old governess, Victoria Childers, comes there to auction off her innocence, he recognizes her arrival as part of his enemy's deadly game. Though Gabriel doesn't plan to take Victoria's virginity, or even to accept her touch, he is quick to claim the woman as his own: the first step down a path where passion and peril are inextricably intertwined.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Destitute and terrorized by a nameless pursuer, thirty-four-year-old Victoria Childers has only one thing of value left—her innocence. Its price will buy her safety. But Gabriel, the dangerously beautiful man who purchases her, doesn't want her virginity—he wants the man who stalks her. Trapped together in a house where every desire can be fulfilled, Victoria and Gabriel are plunged into a deadly game of passion and pursuit, where the greatest threat is carnal hunger and the only rule is survival.
