By Any Means

Black Lace - the leading erotic fiction imprint for women

Cheryl Mildenhall was one of the first and most popular Black Lace authors who incorporated a bonkbuster Jilly Cooper style with more explicit sexual fantasy. She is the author of The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, By Any Means, The Lure of Satyria, Pulling Power, A Sense of Entitlement and Summer of Enlightenment, all available from Black Lace. 
 
She lives in London.

Francesca, Taran and Veronique are partners in Falconer Associates, a London-based advertising agency. The three women are good friends who run a professional business but they're not averse to taking their pleasure with certain male employees. When they put in a bid to win a new design account they are pitched against four other agencies, including one owned by the notorious hedonist, Oscar Rage. 
 
Despite Francesca's efforts to resist Oscar's arrogant charm, she finds him impossible to ignore. Fortunately, Taran and Veronique are on hand to distract him and, hopefully, prevent him from seizing the commission. The sexually-charged atmosphere is set for seduction and a very sensual celebration awaits the triumphant winner.

The Lure Of Satyria

Satyria is a land of debauchery and excess: a place where virtuous maidens dare not venture. Just as well, then, that Princess Hedra's intentions are decidedly unchaste. When her father's castle is threatened with invasion, she flees into neighbouring lands and embarks on a quest for sexual adventure. 
 
In her travels she meets Gideon, the virile young man who lives in the enchanted forest, and a troop of decadent knights who seek to ravish every woman they find. But when she is captured by the leather-clad Lord Gerard - King of Satyria - her lascivious talents are really put to the test.

Summer Of Enlightenment

Black Lace - the leading erotic imprint for women

Karin's new-found freedom is proving to be a revelation, not least to herself. The enigmatic Nicolai has been interested in her since their chance meeting in a café. But he's the husband of a valued friend. Now he's playing games of sexual tension, and introducing her to intriguing dilemmas which create an erotic puzzle that only Karin can resolve. With other, equally attractive admirers caught up in the web, will she dare to trust her desire?

The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea

When Hillary and her girlfriends rent a country  house for their summer vacation, it is a pleasant surprise to find that  its secretive and kinky owner - Darius Harwood - seems to be the most  desirable man in the locale. That is, before Hillary meets Haldane, the  blonde and beautifully proportioned Norwegian sailor who works nearby.  Intrigued by the sexual allure of two very different men, Hillary can't  resist exploring the possibilities on offer. But these opportunities for  misbehaviour quickly lead her into a tricky situation for which a  difficult decision has to be made.

Cheryl Mildenhall

The reading of her father's will presents Angelique with a few surprises. Not only was he not her real father, he left her a large amount of money and a share in a hotel. But it is a hotel with a difference, with secret passages and rooms where staff and guests can act out their erotic fantasies.
