I'm so pleased to have Juliette Banks with her latest release, The Artist on my blog today. Juliette will be telling us a little about herself and share an intriguing excerpt from her new book too!
Hello April, thanks for inviting me to your
blog to tell you a little about my new book, The Artist, which is being
published by Blushing Books. This is my ninth book with Blushing Books. Your
readers may know me already as Rachel de Vine, which is the name under which I
have published to date. But this time I will be publishing under a new pen
name, Juliette Banks.
Let me tell you about The Artist.
Lizzie is a pretty, but
quite simple village girl when circumstances lead her to the artist, Theo. She made a bad marriage to Lionel, a man who
mistreated her, and who then threw her out when she refused to sell her body on
the streets for him. Now she is trying to make her way alone.
Theo is the rebellious son
of a Viscount, who left his privileged background to pursue his chosen career as an artist. His favorite subjects
are pretty young women whom he paints in the nude. He is delighted, therefore, when the beautiful Lizzie knocks on
his door one day and offers her services as a model.
It is only a matter of days
before the mutual attraction ignites between them and they become lovers. Despite village gossip, they are
happy. Until Lionel, hearing that his wife is now living with the artist, erupts in a jealous
rage and snatches her back while Theo is away and unable to protect her.
Upon finding Lizzie gone,
Theo sets off in hot pursuit, determined to find the model for whom his
feelings are growing daily. He soon catches up with Lizzie and Lionel, but
during the hotheaded rescue, things take a tricky turn with an unexpected
consequence.
Lionel is dead.
Unwilling to be charged with
murder, and possibly hanged, Theo and Lizzie flee to Italy, where they try to
start a new life together. But the past has a way of catching up with everyone,
and they are no exception.
Can the love between a son
of a Viscount and an illiterate country girl survive after such a troubled
start? And will they have to face justice for the murder of Lizzie’s husband?
This is an erotic tale of a
young couple in mid-nineteenth century England and Italy, with some explicit
themes, including spanking.
He didn't know if he wanted to paint her or spank her.
Theo rose earlier than usual the next morning, having
turned in early the night before. He regretted telling Lizzie not to come until
mid-day now, anxious to make use of the bright morning sunshine, but could do
nothing about it, as he had no knowledge of where the girl was living. He
decided to take a walk instead.
It was pure chance that he picked Oak Lane to stroll
down. It was a pretty walk, with magnificent, fully-grown oak trees that gave
it its name, and a stream meandering in the dip by the side of the road amongst
the trees. Just before he reached the farm entrance, he spotted movement below
him. Creeping a little closer he realized it was Lizzie, having her morning
wash in the stream, and he darted behind one of the trees to watch without
being seen. It was foolish to hide, he told himself, when he could look at that
wonderful body all day while he painted her. But there was something
wonderfully erotic in spying in secret his little flame-haired model,
performing her morning ablutions. She clearly thought herself completely hidden
from prying eyes, for there was not a trace of inhibition in her movements.
Lizzie
was standing ankle deep at the edge of the water, and had tucked her skirt up
on either side of her body to avoid it getting wet. The blouse she wore on the
top half of her body was unbuttoned halfway down her chest, and the soft
roundness of the top of her breasts were peeking out through the gap. She had a
rag in her hand and pushed it down the opened buttons and under her arms. The
dampness from the rag caught against the front of the blouse and made the
material stick to her breasts, causing her nipples to stand to attention. That
was not the only thing that was standing to attention. In his trousers, Theo
felt his cock expanding and straining against the rough material.
A bird
chirped on one of the branches above Lizzie's head, and she raised her face to
look up at it. Her pose, with her mass of auburn hair flowing backwards down
her back, lips open and breasts pushing outwards against her blouse, made the
artist in Theo want to paint her in such a pose,
and made the man in Theo want
to fuck that woman so badly he was afraid he might come in his trousers. Having washed her upper body, Lizzie now concentrated
on the lower half. Theo was unsure whether he could safely watch without giving
himself away by a sigh or a groan. She bent forwards to rinse the rag in the
water, away from where Theo was hidden, and he caught a glance of her perfect,
shapely bottom peeking out from the bottom of her skirt. What a glorious arse,
he thought to himself, and what he wouldn't give to bring the palm of his hand
down on that soft, creamy flesh, leaving the imprint of his hand on her behind.As an artist he was good with his hands - where it mattered.
I hope you have enjoyed the short excerpt from The
