The Lover's Children novel Chapter 1

'The Lover's Children' is the continuing story of Charlotte, her Master, James, and her Lover, Michael. The story is a long one and is still on-going.

If you have not met Charlotte, James and Michael before and would like to start with the beginning of the story, here is where to start.

You can read how the tale begins, as told from The Virgin, Charlotte, in 'Buying The Virgin'.

Or you can start the story as told by The Boys, James and Michael, in 'Mastering The Virgin'.

I should also say, that while there is of course, a lot of overlap between these two versions of the story, they are by no means identical. Each contains insights and information that is not present in the other.

The are also characters at the beginning of the tale who have stories of their own.

You can meet Richard and Beth, and learn how they met, in 'Bought By The Billionaire'.

And you can meet Kirstie and Ryan for the first time in 'Choosing Her Lover'.

After these alternative versions of the beginning of the story, we have 'Masters and Lovers'

Then 'Hot Revenge'

And now 'The Lover's Children'

This all sounds complicated I know, but as we start here, with the first part of The Lover's Children, Winter Wedding, I have tried to write the story so you can enjoy it as a stand-alone piece of HEA, steamy romance. I hope you enjoy the result.

Meanwhile, for a quick introduction to the characters, read on.

Happy Reading
