âOne of the finest romance authors of all time.â
âJulia Quinn
â[Loretta Chase has] a rare talent for creating crackling sexual tension and characters so fresh and compelling that readers wonât be able to forget them.â
âSusan Elizabeth Phillips
One of the most beloved authors in the field of historical romance, the remarkable Loretta Chase proves that Silk is For Seduction. The acclaimed New York Times bestselling author brings readers the first in a very sexy, emotionally rich new series in which sisters from a rather scandalous aristocratic familyâthe purveyors of the most fashionable shop in Regency Londonâdiscover passion and love as sumptuous as the exquisite gowns they create. Stephanie Laurens fans will adore this sensuous love story, as ambitious dressmaker Marcelline attempts to win the patronage of a future duchess...and ends up inadvertently enchanting the Duke!
Loretta Chase has worked in academe, retail, and the visual arts, as well as on the streetsâas a meter maidâand in video, as a scriptwriter. She might have developed an excitingly checkered career had her spouse not nagged her into writing fiction. Her bestselling historical romances, set in the Regency and Romantic eras of the early 19th century, have won numerous awards, including three from the Romance Writers of America. They have been published in a great many different languages, which she wishes she could read.
