    About this ebook

    Colleen Hoover meets Bridgerton in this emotional, page-turning Regency romance!

    In the eyes of the ton, Ellen Harding lives a charmed life – she is the beautiful mistress of Lord Gainsborough.

    But on the inside, behind her glamorous façade, she is empty – deaf to the voice of morality and blind to shame. Unable to escape the gilded cage she has been trapped within.

    Kind, gentle Edward Marlow could prove to be her salvation… With one look he gives her hope. With one touch he sets her senses alight.

    Lose yourself in the passionate intensity of this sweeping Regency romance, perfect for fans of Tessa Dare and Diana Gabaldon.

      If you're in the slumps of late and are looking for a new author, I'm more than happy to point out to you Jane Lark and her début novel `Illicit Love'.

      She just blew me away with this romantic, sensual and heartbreaking story of true love. This story truly makes you believe that true love can conquer all obstacles in its path.

      Jane Lark creates a pair of lovers that are refreshingly honest in their desires of each other, and that in itself is unique.

      Everything about this novel impressed. The unique plot added intrigue to the fast paced and very emotional drama and the characterization of the main players enhanced the story and added another dimension to this tension filled romance. Her prose is rich and the story was engaging from the very start, which kept me enthralled until the end. I honestly couldn't put it down. The characters were well-rounded, complex and believable. The dialogue is crisp, entertaining, and captivating.

      Ms. Lark set out to share with her readers a story of true and unconditional, as well as unconventional, love; love that defies all odds, and I am happy to have discovered this little gem of a novel.

      This is one romance novel that must be added to your TBR!
