Description
There are many good reasons for a woman to hide her feelings. In Book 3 of the passionate, poignant Hearts in Hiding series, Cressida risks losing her life if she succumbs to the man she loves.
Cressida, Lady Lovett, believes her reluctance in the bedchamber - caused by a brush with death during her last childbirth - has driven her husband into another woman's arms.
Desperate to discover the truth behind Lord Lovett's increasing absences, she follows him to Mrs Plumb's notorious Salon of Sin where she gets more than she bargains for when one of the women takes pity on her and teaches her some tricks of their trade.
Armed at last with the means to control her fertility, Cressida transforms herself into the vixen of her husband's dreams in the hope that she can win him back.
But when she returns to the salon, intending to repay the woman responsible for her liberation, she discovers her unlikely benefactress was, and possibly still is, her husband's mistress.
Can Cressida regain Lord Lovett's affections and, in the process, unravel the mystery of a long lost child?

Beverley Oakley is an Australian author of more than 30 Regency romps, and Victorian and Georgian-set romances laced with mystery and intrigue.Under her other pen names - Beverley Eikli and B.G. Nettelton - she writes Africa-set romantic suspense and Women's Fiction.Born in the African mountain kingdom of Lesotho, Beverley married the handsome Norwegian bush pilot she met in Botswana's beautiful Okavango Delta while managing a safari lodge.She began her writing career as a journalist, but it was during long aerial survey contracts around the world-typically as the sole woman among the crew-that she began writing romance novels, finding in them an escape from the isolation.Beverley also adores making historical costumes, knitting, and travelling, usually to Norway to visit her older daughter.She lives just north of Melbourne with the same wonderful husband she whisked away from Botswana thirty years ago, together with their youngest daughter, and a gorgeous, dopey Rhodesian Ridgeback who weighs more than she does.When she's not writing, she runs a bed & breakfast & Farmstay business (called Wuthering Heights) in South Australia's beautiful wine growing Clare Valley with her two sisters.You can visit her websites at: www.beverleyoakley.com or www.beverleysbooks.com
