At only seventeen, I left the sheltered life at the convent and married a much older Englishman. I was scared, but the idea of a life filled with parties, friends, and all the things I’d been denied seduced me. My parents had arranged this marriage for me, and how wrong could they be?

Nothing turned out the way I had fantasized. Day by day, my dreams fail to materialize. No parties, no lavish trips to exotic places, and worst of all, no love.

And one day, I engaged on an innocent task: planting roses for my garden, not imagining I would find love amid the thorns…and that love could come in unusual ways. And even married to an abusive and estranged husband, I make up my mind to find passion and claim it. I’m done being the good girl.

My name is Chloé de la Fleur and this is my story.

If you are a fan of Fifty Shades of Grey and authors Maya Banks and Sylvia Day, you will love this scandalous, refreshing, and, of course, incredibly romantic and unusual love story, which involves three alpha Italian knights who will do anything for their Principessa.

USA TODAY and Amazon bestselling romance author Cristiane Serruya—or just Cris—is Brazilian and lives in Rio de Janeiro, with her husband, two teenage daughters, and Loki, her Shetland Sheepdog. She has studied in England, France, Italy, and Switzerland and graduated in Law, with a Master’s in Business Law and a BA in Fine Arts.

CHLOÉ

I am beside myself by all the beauty out here in the Italian countryside.

Not just the vineyards, I must say. The sea, too, and the sun. The light here is different. And oh. The men. Oh, the men.

But I am getting ahead of myself.

Oui, the villa by the sea is very, very nice, though I don’t get to see around much yet.

The house, clearly centuries old, is comfortable and cozy and everything an Italian villa should be. I find myself sighing with longing as I gaze up at the beautiful house, pressed between a backdrop of bright blue sky and an infinite turquoise sea.

But what really awakens the longing inside me is still to come.

We walk in through the back door into a large farmhouse kitchen.

I sense the air of unmistakable masculinity that intoxicates my senses before I see the two men dwarfing a…mini table?

And it’s all I see: Salvatore’s brothers.

Because they don’t even have to be introduced, their sizes are so similar, though one is dark and has his back to me, and the other is fair and much younger.

But the largest is unequivocally the same: broad shoulders, large chest and back, and muscular arms.

“Cara,” Salvatore says, dropping my bag at his feet. “I’d like you to meet my baby brother, Angelo.”

Angelo’s big, somewhat innocent, baby-blue eyes grow bigger at the sight of me and I freeze on the spot. Non, n’est ce pas possible. What are the odds of the young man I had seen masturbating on the ferry being Salvatore’s younger brother?

After asking his oldest brother something in Italian and getting what I think is a mocking answer with a mocking laugh, he stands from the table.

I thought at first they were sitting at a mini table, but it doesn’t take me long to realize the table isn’t mini. Non, he just makes it look that way because he is so big.

“Piacere.” Because it is really a pleasure, though I’d rather have met him under other circumstances.

But shouldering his way past me, muttering something harsh to Salvatore, he leaves the room, banging the door shut for good measure.

For some reason it knocks the air out of my lungs when he dismisses me so easily.

Does he know I am married? Does he know about my past with his brother and disapproves of it?

But then the other brother stands. Slowly, unfolding his even taller body from his seated position. And then he turns and smiles at me.

And, oh, I have to use all my years of hard training in the convent to remain standing, because I feel faint.

He reaches out a hand and grasps mine in his.

A jolt runs through me and my smile dies on my lips.

“Principessa.”

An erotic, funny tale of a young woman in search of love.

At the tender age of 18, Lady Chloé de La Fleur was married off to 40 year-old Baron Beardley, a wealthy English peer, and taken away from the whirlwind of Paris and London societies to live in a forsaken manor way out of Warwickshire.

Young, beautiful, and voluptuous, the Baroness finds that in Beardley Manor innocent flirtations can become erotic sex escapades.

And soon Lady Chloe’s diary pages are filled with her adventures—and misadventures! If you are a fan of the romantic Misadventures Series and Calendar Girl, you will love this scandalous, refreshing, and, of course, incredibly sexy romance. The Erotic Escapades of Baron Beardley’s Wife is the first installment of The Diaries Series, a quick-blush, perfect bedside read collection by USA Today bestselling author Cristiane Serruya!

My hands pause on the vine and I shake my head hard, trying to clear her voice from my thoughts. It’s not the first time this has happened to me and a hard shake of my head usually takes care of the problem.

“It’s me, Chloé.”

But not this time. A spark of hope flows through me as I slowly turn my head to her voice.

My dream takes a step forward, her boots crunching on the leaves I have been clearing. Because I have been tormented that my trip had been in vain and that I would have to wait to go to France and comb Paris to find where her friend lives. Only manual work under the sun could take her out of my head.

“Chloé?” I ask hesitantly, scared I am having a vision.

There’s a storm inside me. A whirlwind of surprise and fear, threatening to drown me.

Why are you here? And from somewhere deep inside, another question whispers itself. Why did you take so long?

Emotions flit across her beautiful face. She looks older. Well, she’s four years older than when I last saw her, but it’s not that. There are delicate lines around her eyes now, as if she has begun to smile more, her face is leaner, more mature—even more beautiful, if that is possible—and her body seems to be thinner, more toned than it had been at the manor, but that is not something I can say for sure at a glance. Maybe it’s her clothes, which are also more modern than the ones she wore in Beardley Manor but still very proper.

“Oui,” she answers, clasping her hands so tightly together in front of her I can see her fingers getting white.

I clear my throat as I drop the shears into the basket at my feet. “Why have you come?”

It’s not the reunion I have pictured in my mind. There’s something different about her, something more timid than the woman I have given my body and my heart to.

“I-I have come to find you, Salvatore. You did not return and I-I—” Her voice falters as if she realizes only now she doesn’t know why she has come all this way to find me. “I was tired of waiting and I am a bit impatient…you know.”

I chuckle, but I still can’t make myself meet her gaze. “Cara, we all knew you are a lot impatient.”

“You did not come back to me.”

I lift my head at the sound of her voice breaking and I see a myriad of emotions in her eyes. There’s concern, desire, and hope, but none of the heat that we had once shared. “I am not under your thumb to do your bidding any longer, my lady.”

Her eyes widen as the tone of my voice surprises her.

“You were never under my thumb, Salvatore, you were in my heart.”

Her cheeks flush from her own declaration and I regret the cold sound of my words. I clear my throat.

I knew I would never have her as my own, but for a time it was like I owned her, body, heart, and soul. She was the lady of the manor, wife of the baron. But while he had her legally, her body craved mine and no matter how much time he may have spent with her, it was our time together that brought her to life, gave birth to her naughty streak. She belonged to me.

She is still mine.

“Cara,” I say softly, stripping off my gloves. “I thought I would never see you again.”

A tear escapes her eye as I meet her halfway, feeling the coolness of her hands as they run over the warm skin of my back. She is fresh and perfumed in contrast to my smell of dirt and sweat, but she doesn’t seem to care. She never has.

I burrow my face into her shoulder and I breathe deep, taking in her scent—English roses, her favorite flowers. It has haunted me night and day since I left her in that forsaken manor with that bastard of a husband.
