And when she's sent on an assignment to a bizarre country house, things get even stranger. The owner of the house is a peculiarly eccentric and masterful character, and plans to add Rosemary to his collection of beautiful things.

Country Matters

When Lorna Erskine inherits Hinton Priory - deep in the heart of rural England - she thinks she is set for a life of tranquillity and pastoral bliss. She's wrong. Her closest neighbour, Ryder Tyrell, is not the country gentleman he seems to be and is trying to lure Lorna into his elite cult of sexual excess. 
 
A ruthless businessman also has Lorna in his sights, and wants to build an exclusive leisure centre on her land. He sets out to seduce her - as does the darkly handsome architect who has been hired to restore the Priory; he has his own private reasons for wanting to possess her: body, mind and soul. The village is seething with intrigue, which can only escalate when Lorna discovers that paganism is thriving on her doorstep. Can she hold on to the Priory and her sanity?

Heat Of The Moment

Amber, Sue and Diane - three women from an English market town - are successful in their businesses, but all want more from their private lives. When they become involved in the Silver Banner - an English Civil War re-enactment society- there's plenty of opportunity for them to fraternise with the handsome muscular men in historical uniform. Thing is, the fun-loving Cavaliers are much sexier than the puritan Roundheads, and the tensions are rivalries are played out on the village green and in the bedroom. 
 
Great characterisation and oodles of sexy fun in this story of three friends who love dressing up for a romp.

Always The Bridegroom

Jody Hamilton is a landscape gardener who has returned from the States to attend her best friend's wedding. All is well until Jody finds out what a sex-crazed rotter her best friend is about to marry. With too many people involved in the preparations for the big day, bickering, back-stabbing and infidelities soon ensue. But in the middle of the mayhem, Jody thinks she may have found the man of her dreams.

All The Trimmings

Cheryl and Laura decide to pool their substantial divorce settlements and buy a hotel. When the women find out that each secretly harbours a desire to run an upmarket bordello, they seize the opportunity to turn St Jude's into a bawdy funhouse for both sexes, where fantasies - from the mild to the increasingly perverse - are indulged. But when attractive , sinister John Dempsey comes on the scene, Cheryl is smitten, but Laura is convinced he's out to con them, or report them to the authorities or both. Which of the women is right? And will their friendship - and their business - survive?

Masque Of Passion

Lisa Sherwin is a young and spirited fine-arts graduate. She has her own flat, a small but expanding antiques business and a healthy interest in sex. She is due to marry her wealthy, rugby-playing fiancé, Paul, in a matter of weeks but as the day draws closer she's having second thoughts, especially as he wants her to give up work and sees her sexual needs as unimportant. 
 
The rural English village in which they live is home to some eccentric and bohemian characters including the passionate and cultured David Maccabene, who introduces Lisa to new ways of thinking and kinky ways of loving. In a bid to escape the stuffy conservatism of Paul's overbearing family, Lisa seeks satisfaction and help from her new-found friends. She manages this with alacrity, outraging her future in-laws and finding talents she never knew she had.
