Some say the aristocratic Balfour clan is cursed, a once-great family now in slow decline. Graceful Lily Balfour is her family’s last hope, and she has come to London with one goal—to marry a rich man. Her well-laid plans are balked, however, by the irresistible Major Derek Knight, a handsome highborn soldier and adventurer newly returned from India.

Hardened by battles on India’s lawless frontiers, Derek is not just a fighter but a skilled and insatiable lover—a master of the Eastern arts of pleasure. Though Derek finds no shortage of willing women in London, it is the aloof, untouchable Lily who haunts him. After one stolen moment, he hungers for nights of sensual abandon to fulfill her fantasies and free her from her self-imposed prison. But he has come to England on a vital secret mission, and when Lily is betrothed to a wealthy man suspected of corruption, Derek must thwart the treachery that ensnares them both—for only then will ecstasy and the sweet promise of her heart be his to claim.

OOPS!
A funny thing happened on the way to the printing press…

We’re not real sure how it happened, folks, because it wasn’t there when we
(my editor and I) signed off with our final approval of the book cover.
But somehow—mysteriously!—a mistake has popped up on the back of the book-cover of Her Secret Fantasy. (Ack!!)

(Alas, the cover gremlins strike every author’s career sooner or later.)
Fortunately, this does not effect the inside of the book AT ALL.
Just the back cover.

The back cover mistakenly states that Her Secret Fantasy is the first book in the Spice Trilogy, but in reality, of course, it is the SECOND.

The first book in the Spice Trilogy (as you probably already know by now) was
Her Only Desire — (the pink one!) – which came out in April 2007.

We all regret this error and want everyone to know it has already been corrected for all future printings. Only the first edition will have the mistake.

Fortunately, I always take pains to write my books with enough of an explanation about what’s going on with the overall series so that readers can jump in at any point or read the stories in really any order and not be confused. I do this because new readers discover my books with every new release, and I want everyone to be able to enjoy all of my stories, no matter which one they start with. Again, my publisher and I are both sorry about this and appreciate your understanding.
