Sofie Darling
Sofie Darling’s passions for historical romance started back in middle school when she cracked “Wuthering Heights” by Emily Bronte. An enduring and instant love affair was born.

She spent the majority of her 20s raising two sons and reading every single romance novel that she could get her hands on. Once she realized she simply had to write the books that she loved, she completed her English degree and put pencil to paper (since Ticonderoga #2 is her quill of choice).

When she is not busy writing heroes that make her swoon, she enjoys a visit to a crumbling medieval castle when she gets the chance, a nice weekend hike, and a slightly codependent relationship with Bosco, her beagle.

“Three Lessons in Seduction” is the first novel in the “Shadows and Silk” series and was released in 2018. Lesson One: Do not forget to tell your wife that you’re a spy. An absentee husband is one thing, however a dead husband is far too much for Lady Mariana Asquith to ignore. As she travels to Paris to look for the body of the wastrel that broke her heart, she discovers him at the Opera, alive, and still much too attractive for her comfort. However not everything is like it appears with her husband.

Lesson Two: Do not allow your husband to seduce you.

Nick’s sacrificed it all to keep King and Country safe, and that includes his marriage. However after a decade of keeping away from the woman that he loves, he cannot quite make himself push Mariana away. He longs to be finished with all of the spies and lies, however there is one final job, with quite the seductive partner at his side.

Lesson Three: What you do, you must not fall in love, again.

While working together in order to save the French government from rather powerful adversaries, Nick’s got to teach his wife how to be a spy, beginning with how to seduce some dangerous stranger. Mariana has some experience with dangerous men already thanks to Nick, and she’s got her own lessons to teach him; like how love, passion, and trust might just save the day.
