Destitute and terrorized by a nameless pursuer, thirty-four-year-old Victoria Childers has only one thing of value left her innocence. Its price will buy her safety. But Gabriel, the dangerously beautiful man who purchases her, doesn't want her virginity-he wants the man who stalks her. Trapped together in a house where every desire can be fulfilled, Victoria and Gabriel are plunged into a deadly game of passion and pursuit, where the greatest threat is carnal hunger and the only rule is survival. Description in Spanish: La noche de la reinauguracion de la Casa de Gabriel, uno de los mas famosos establecimientos dedicados al sexo en Londres, Victoria Childers subasta su virginidad ante los asombrados clientes. Gabriel, el dueno del local, ofrece dos mil libras por ella, convencido de que ha sido enviada por un antiguo enemigo para matarle. Sin embargo, Victoria no es una asesina, sino una antigua institutriz a quien la necesidad de sobrevivir a la pobreza y a su propia soledad obliga a tomar esa drastica decision.
"My grandparents were very poor: they did not have indoor plumbing. When I stayed with them, I lived pretty much like our ancestors did in the 19th century. The experience gave me a very practical mindset regarding history and the people who lived it. Technology may change, but we do not. We all want. We all need. Beauty. Passion. Love."
