Hot Gossip

Black Lace - the leading erotic imprint for women

Savannah Smythe is the author of the following Black Lace titles: Driven By Desire, Hot Gossip, Stormy Haven and Wolf At The Door.

Suzy Whitbread packs in her job at a beauty salon and returns to the rural English village where she grew up. As a teenager the locals frowned on her close relationship with Clifton McKenna, father of her best friend and master of the local hunt. Clifton used to be in control of everything, including Suzy's burgeoning sexuality, but now he is confined to a wheelchair after a riding accident. Suzy is determined to help him recover while his overbearing wife is on an extended vacation, and they are soon playing out scenes of exquisite sexual torment in Clifton's luxury mansion. 
 
As if this were not reason enough for some very hot gossip, the McKenna's son has become embroiled with a girl from the traveller community. It is only a matter of time before a furious Mrs McKenna will return from her holiday to find all hell has broken loose.

What she does not know is that one of them, the sophisticated and very married Adrian, is a jewel thief, while her other new lover has exotic tastes in sexual experimentation. As Rachel is lured into an underworld lifestyle of champagne, diamonds and lustful indulgence, she finds a familiar face is involved in some very shady activity!

Tempted into rekindling their intensely sexual affair while making her wedding preparations, she intends to break off the illicit liaison one she is married. However, Pagan has underestimated the Wolf's obsession. Mancini has spotted Greg's own weaknesses and intends to exploit them to the full, undermining him in his professional life. When he sends the slinky, raven-haired Renate in to do his dirty work, the course is set for a descent into depravity.
