Imagine a cocktail, one part Ana•s Nin, another part John Grisham, laced with a secret ingredient, a little something that gives it that extra zing, and what have you got? The new erotic thriller by Emma Kaufmann: Lawless Games.

Emma Kaufmann leads you into an exclusive, high-stakes world of passion and deception - where two ambitious lawyers are locked in a furious power struggle.

John Richardson, the ruggedly handsome partner at a top London law firm, handled his business affairs the way he handled his women - with charm, daring and ruthless self-control. A man used to the very best, John hired Chloe Hamilton, and assumed the proud beauty would be just another easy conquest.

Destined for each other, yet wary of each other's motives, John and Chloe engage in a dance of suspicion and passion that tests the very soul of their star-crossed love.

As a twisting path of secrets takes them from London's courtrooms to the witchcraft-imbued Cat Island, Chloe finds herself ensnared in a bewildering web É a seductive, dangerous trap of pride, passion, loyalty, and overwhelming lust.

About the author

Emma Kaufmann lived in London, England for the first thirty years of her life. Then, tiring of the constant rain and hectic pace of London life she immigrated to Baltimore where she now writes full time.

Emma Kaufmann has published one previous novel, Lured by Lust (Black Lace). Guilt, a psychological thriller, is out soon. Her short stories have appeared in numerous webzines including Clean Sheets, the Erotica Readers Association, Hercurve and Sexilicious. Last year she appeared on a UK television documentary on female sexual fantasies.

She toiled in the real world for several years, at a law firm, in public relations and later, broke and between jobs as a maid in a London dominatrix' parlor. This experience caused her imagination to start working overtime and soon she was penning and publishing erotic literature.

She says, "It annoys me the way people always assume that a book can't be great literature if it has a fair amount of sex in it. That kind of attitude is just ridiculous! Of course, there is badly written sex out there, writing that gives erotica a bad name. However, my work does not just encompass sex, it's always about sex and SOMETHING ELSE. I am constantly pushing forward the boundaries of erotica, and enjoy mixing genres together, as in Lawless Games, which is a legal thriller, but also very sexy."
