Harriette Wilson was the most desired and the most dangerous woman in Regency London. This highly acclaimed biography reveals for the first time the true story behind her sensational life and scandalous 'Memoirs'. When her former lovers - including much of the British aristocracy - turned against her, she knew exactly how to take revenge . . . 'A wonderful book. Much more than a biography of one attractive, witty woman, it offers a deft analysis of how Britain dealt with celebrity, sex, power and popular journalism in an age that bears remarkable similarities to our own . . . Frances Wilson is not only a first-rate scholar but also a wonderful storyteller who manages to get inside her namesake's famously creamy skin and tell her story with wit and understanding.' Kathryn Hughes, Mail on Sunday 'Lively and stylish . . . Reveals how dangerous the courtesan who operated at the heart of the political world was thought to be.' Anne Sebba, Spectator 'Harriette's story is deftly and stylishly told. It beats most novels with its rich ingredients.' Frances Spalding, Daily Mail

Young Cecilia Danet was introduced to the opulent world of royalty when she joined the court of King Louis XIV. Being groomed her whole life for the role of a courtesan prepared her for everything except the intense passion she felt with the brooding and powerful Louis. Their romance deepened, but an unexpected development upended her world, leaving her caught in the middle of a royal love triangle. Inspired by the reign of Louis XIV and the classic works of Alexander Dumas, The King's Treasure (previously published as The Sun King) is a fictionalized historical romance. Although this novel features historical figures, it is the product of the author's imagination and should not be construed as fact.

Melissa Thatcher is a prostitute from Metro, the slum of Zinya City. Each day, she witnesses horrific violence and clings to an addictive drug nicknamed “street dust” just to get by. When an extremely wealthy drug lord, Ezekiel, discovers Melissa, he promises her unlimited street dust in exchange for her services as a permanent escort. Ezekiel is dangerous—hypercritical, violent, cold, and calculating—but what can Melissa do in the face of a promise to change her life forever? Simultaneously drawn to and repulsed by Ezekiel and his methods of control, Melissa finds herself caught in a web she cannot escape. She soon realizes that no one disobeys Ezekiel and gets away with it—no one. Angela Walker’s The King and the Courtesan tells the story of a man’s addiction to power, and a young woman’s struggle for freedom.

The quick pace, strong dialogue and high degree of sensuality added to the lush backdrop will have readers enthralled." -ROMANTIC TIMES TOP PICK Soldier of Fortune: The King's Courtesan, tells the story of Hope Mathews, a character inspired by Nell Gwynn, and Captain Nichols, a war-weary soldier first introduced to readers in Libertine's Kiss. Haunted by his past, hardened by years of fighting and his honor a distant memory, Robert Nichols lives for revenge. When Charles II confiscates his lands to reward one of his backers it seems life as a mercenary is all that's left, until the king makes him an offer. Marry his mistress, a beautiful courtesan with humble beginnings and he will keep his lands and be richly rewarded. To Hope, who dreams of independence it's a crushing betrayal and for Robert it represents a new low. Bitter and disillusioned, trapped in a marriage neither of them wants, their clash is inevitable. Can these two wounded souls realize the answer to all their dreams might lie in each other's arms? "The King's Courtesan is a beautiful love story set in a rich historical period." -BOOKLOVERS INC "Seventeenth century England is the perfect setting for this novel and Ms. James does it justice.

Amid the disapproving gossip of the Court, a royal romance defies all obstacles. The Court of François I is full of lust, intrigue, and bawdy bon temps—a different world from the quiet country life Diane de Poitiers led with her elderly husband. Now a widow, the elegant Diane is called back to Court, where the King’s obvious interest marks her as an enemy to the King’s favourite, Anne d’Heilly. The Court is soon electrified by rumors of their confrontations. As Anne calls on her most venomous tricks to drive Diane away, Diane finds an ally in the one member of Court with no allegiance to the King’s mistress: his teenage second son, Henri. Neglected by his father and disliked by his brothers, Prince Henri expects little from his life. But as his friendship with Diane deepens into infatuation and then a romance that scandalizes the Court, the Prince begins to discover hope for a future with Diane. But fate and his father have other plans for Henri—including a political marriage with Catherine de Medici. Despite daunting obstacles, Henri’s devotion to Diane never wanes; their passion becomes one of the most legendary romances in the history of France. Also available as an eBook

Scenes from a Courtesan's Life is a novel by Honoré de Balzac. Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. Excerpt: "In spite of this shapeless wrapper they could watch the most appealing of dramas, that of a woman inspired by a genuine passion. Were she La Torpille, the Duchesse de Maufrigneuse, or Madame de Serizy, on the lowest or highest rung of the social ladder, this woman was an exquisite creature, a flash from happy dreams. These old young men, like these young old men, felt so keen an emotion, that they envied Lucien the splendid privilege of working such a metamorphosis of a woman into a goddess. The mask was there as though she had been alone with Lucien; for that woman the thousand other persons did not exist, nor the evil and dust-laden atmosphere; no, she moved under the celestial vault of love, as Raphael's Madonnas under their slender oval glory. She did not feel herself elbowed; the fire of her glance shot from the holes in her mask and sank into Lucien's eyes; the thrill of her frame seemed to answer to every movement of her companion. Whence comes this flame that radiates from a woman in love and distinguishes her above all others? Whence that sylph-like lightness which seems to negative the laws of gravitation? Is the soul become ambient? Has happiness a physical effluence?"
