Rules of Passion

by Sara Bennett

Overview

Beautiful, spirited, and daring Marietta Greentree is determined to follow in the footsteps of her natural mother, the dazzlingly gorgeous courtesan Madam Aphrodite. However, being the most...unconventional of the three Greentree sisters makes Marietta's goal a bit more challenging than she expects, leading Madam Aphrodite to encourage her to try seducing just one man – the disgraced and broodingly handsome former Lord Rosebay, Max Valland.

Considering the gentleman has virtually nothing to lose, he's certainly willing to help Marietta on her mission! Soon though, he's caught completely off guard by his genuine attraction and desire for the strong-willed and determined young lady and drawn to her unexpected vulnerability. Only when Marietta is threatened by the dangerous mysteries surrounding her partner in passion does she realize she's betrayed the courtesan's number one rule: never fall in love.

About the Author

Looking back, I always seemed to be writing something, but the first time I actually thought I might make a career as a writer was when I won the local short story contest.

Suddenly my name was in the newspaper and people had heard of me, and I was actually paid! Probably until then, although I had dreamed of being a writer, I had never expected to make a career from it. I thought writing was a hobby. After the contest win I began to wonder if, maybe, one day I would be able to write and not have to work to support my habit!

As well as writing for Avon in the USA, over the years I have written for Mills & Boon/Harlequin as Deborah Miles. Two of these early books have now been reissued as eBooks (See My Books Page). I also wrote as Lilly Sommers for the Australian market, and these books are being reissued in Germany and Australia under the name Kaye Dobbie.

I currently juggle my writing with sharing an old house and big garden with my husband, as well as far too many animals. Sometimes writing anything is a struggle but I keep trying because I love it.
