The Marquis Book of Pleasure / Property of the Marquis

Lizbeth's two Marquis' Island novels available in a single volume! THE MARQUIS' BOOK OF PLEASURE Shipwrecked on Marquis Island, three couples are drawn to an aging estate house. Its caretaker tells them the bizarre sexual history of the island, then presents them with The Marquis Book of Pleasure, an unusual volume of erotica that lures the three women into submission, and their husbands toward crude & dominant desires. The trio of women soon find themselves dressed in S&M fetish attire and submitting to the rigorous slave training the book outlines. They agree to acts of profound bondage and submission, and then become the centerpiece at a remarkable ball, where former inhabitants of the island return to accept the initiates in an astounding sexual presentation. In the end, Marquis Island leaves a permanent mark on its newest slaves, Laney, Sandra and Elise. PROPERTY OF THE MARQUIS Six months after her husband Erik's death in a plane crash, the lovely Laney still wears the bracelet that he gave her before his death. With Property of the Marquis inscribed on the platinum band, the bracelet demands her willing sexual submission to those in the Marquis circle. With every touch of the shiny band, she's reminded of the vacation three years before, when she, two girlfriends and their husbands were stranded on the deserted island and the entire party became virtually hypnotized by a mysterious caretaker and his chilling book on female slavery. While Laney's submission to Erik began there, it continued long after they left the island. The slave bracelet he gave her became a symbol of their D/s relationship. Haunted by that memory, she returns to the island for clues to the Marquis' whereabouts. Not only does she steal the Book of Pleasure and the Marquis diary from the library, her guide, a seemingly humble fisherman, Alex Greenwood, turns into a formidable dominant, who knows a good deal more about the bracelet and Marquis than she first suspected. Upon leaving the island, Laney travels to Europe in search of the Marquis. She's soon kidnapped, interrogated and sexually tormented by the Marquis' enemies. More chilling torments follow, and still she's no closer to finding the Marquis. ... That is, until her theft of the Marquis books finally comes back to haunt her. Only when she's punished for this crime will the man who owns her take charge of his property and she can fulfill the promise she made to her husband when she first agreed to wear the bracelet
