About this eBook

“One of the finest romance authors of all time.”
—Julia Quinn

“[Loretta Chase has] a rare talent for creating crackling sexual tension and characters so fresh and compelling that readers won’t be able to forget them.”
—Susan 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 family—the purveyors of the most fashionable shop in Regency London—discover 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!

Ratings and reviews

I love Marcelline and her Duke. Wow such a lovely story. I was constantly laughing out loud at their banter. Lordt she was exactly what he needed and he definitely was hers. I think they fell in love -- not lust at first sight and so did I. I've found other lovers in my 1000 + romance novels but only a few can compare. The romance came first and I was delighted and pleased that they did not take their clothes off until the final chapters-- Out of desperation the sex was intended to cure their lust for each other -- to no avail-- they fell even more in love. What a good book!. Loretta Chase is a genius. Yeah baby, yeah🤸‍♀️

I predict this is a series not only to read, but also enjoy. This Historical Romance is well written and runs with the top writers of the genre. An entertaining plot and strong characters carry this novel and reader to a satisfying conclusion.

Chase does a wonderful job of keeping a flair for drama throughout the book, but light hearted all the same.

About the author

Loretta Chase has worked in academe, retail, and the visual arts, as well as on the streets—as a meter maid—and 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.
