Eliza Lloyd currently has several novels published with Ellora’s Cave in their 19th Century/Legend historical line including several series: Wicked Affairs, Mad Duchesses and Birds of Paradise and a new series, Cold Play, in the Breathless line. Additionally, she has a new series of self-published books titled Body of Knowledge, stories with a lighter edge and para/proto sci-fi twist along with a contemporary series Far From Home.
Eliza thinks romance writing is nearly as good as the real thing. Given her choice of professions, she would have preferred to be a 19th century archeologist, but she is perfectly happy living in the 21st century and comfortably writing about such romantic but inconceivably inconvenient times instead. She also writes contemporaries, romantic suspense and the occasional sci-fi when plotting and characterization don’t matter and invisibility does.
Eliza wrote her first romance novel after years of yearning. She finally woke up one day and asked, “Why the heck am I not writing?”
She enjoys traveling, movies, everyone else’s novels and a good meal out with friends on Saturday night. Her greatest flaw is that she believes there is such a thing as true love. Please don’t tell her otherwise.

PLEASURE HOUSE BALL Suzi Love
Love revealed at a courtesan’s ball.
Brenton, Lord Mallory, attends his first courtesan’s ball in ten years to appease his concerned friends, though he’d rather stay home and read to his motherless daughters. To protect his friend, Lady Lillian Armstrong, Brenton hides her in a wardrobe, but his resistance, and years of self-imposed celibacy, shatters when her soft curves press against him.
Though mortified that Brenton unmasked her at the scandalous ball, Lillian doesn’t regret their night together. But will the object of her girlish adoration still treat her as his best friend’s little sister, or will he now see her as a mature and willing woman?
CHAPTER ONE
1820 Blackstone House, twenty miles south of London.
BRENTON, EARL MALLORY, secreted himself behind a life-sized statue of a naked man and willed himself to stay as still as the statue shielding him so he remained invisible to those on the dance floor. Hidden from the two hundred guests spilling through the various rooms Lord Browning had opened for the Pleasure House Ball.
Clearly he’d suffered a moment of insanity when he’d yielded to his friend’s emotional pleas to accompany him to this ball, because Brent had no intention of participating in the adventurous romps and or indulging in the hedonistic behavior that made these debauched balls famous amongst his British peers. Within a few hours, most of the attendees would be drunk on spiked punch and the illusion of sexual freedom, passed out on the floor, or claiming one of the dozens of upstairs bedchambers.
