Notes on Love Letters with a Governess

As mentioned in the notes for One Night as a Woman, I grew enamoured with the style of writing an alternate title that was an early type of meta-data. In this case, it’s:

Or,

A True and Honest Exchange of Letters
Recounting the Night of Pleasure

Between a Nobleman
and the Woman He Employed
as His Daughter’s Chaperone

By the time I started writing this exchange of love letters, I’d read or seen referenced so many erotic works written before and during the Regency era. It’s a lovely fantasy to believe everyone was a prude back then, but the people were as debauched as any time before or since and I think that’s what I loved most about writing this collection–showing that.

Anyway, that’s what prompted this exchange of bawdy letters between a married couple. He has a secret library full of erotic literature (let’s call it what it was: a private browsing history.) She found it and reacted in the best way he could imagine.

Enjoy!
