Continuing the sexy, saucy, spanky and, not least, romantic adventures of Gabriela
Set in late 19th-century Transylvania and in Paris at the dawn of the Belle Époque, The Rites of Seduction is a Gothic, sensual, romantic indulgence wrapped up in a compelling story line, full of vivid characters and sumptuous historical detail. Submit to it.
Gabriela’s marriage to her heart’s beloved István has brought its challenges, yet theirs is an overwhelmingly exciting, amorous, and deliciously sensual union. She becomes convinced that she is the talisman for their continuing happiness and for István’s good health. Therefore, it comes as a shock when her husband falls ill and implores Gabriela to continue their planned travels to Paris alone.
Whilst she misses István desperately, given Gabriela’s appetites, it is not long before she stumbles across all manner of carnal distractions. In France, a series of teachers awaits her, from a budding artist of the French Impressionism School, to a famous English writer, to a most chivalrous couturier’s assistant in a fashion atelier—not forgetting the considerate attentions of her best friend and hostess Alexandrine. All are more than happy to initiate her into new pleasures, ensuring Gabriela is engaged in a variety of stimulating encounters, including an introduction to corporal punishment and bondage, and with no shortage of talented partners.
Along the way, she encounters her former suitor Captain James Francis, a man who retains the power to unsettle her, and makes the acquaintance of the bohemian dancer Albertine. Though as Gabriela discovers, what appears to be one more night of errant pleasure soon leads to dangerous risk-taking. So dangerous, that Gabriela’s return home, her reunion with István, and even her life, are imperilled.
