Experience the bestselling author whose books "have a vein of eroticism, and plots and character traits that push the boundaries of the genre and make for not-to-be-missed reads."*
Hiding a terrible secret, Miracle Heather has no desire to be rescued--especially by a virile young aristocrat. Yet upon seeing Miracle in a foundering boat, Lord Ryderbourne drags her to shore and carries her to a nearby inn, where he insists on taking care of her. A skilled courtesan, she knows of only one way to repay his gallantry, and Ryder is helpless to resist her seduction. The ensuing night of passion shakes them both to the core. No honorable future is possible for a duke's son and a lady of the night, so they agree to travel north together on England's hidden byways as comrades, not lovers. Yet even as their journey leads them both into the unknown, desire threatens to defeat principle.

This book is the second in the Wyldshay series by Julia Ross. Ryder finally meets his match and is humbled by Miracle. Strange name, but it seems to fit her perfectly. She is able to teach him about himself both mentally and physically, while fleeing for her life. The transformation that Ryder goes through is remarkable. All in all, a very exciting, sensual tale that you won't be able to put down.

In a genre filled with cliche plots and cardboard characters, Games of Pleasures stands apart. It is simply one of the best historical romances that I have had the pleasure of reading in many years. There is an exciting plot and a deeply sensual and romantic love story. Ryder, the hero, develops from a man of rigid views to a man more enlighten in the ways of the world.
But what I especially love is the outstanding heroine, Miracle Heather, who is no one's victim. She is an intelligent, self reliant, and honest survivor.
