Hard Blue Midnight (Black Lace)

Lori owns an antique clothes shop in a seaside town in New England, devoting all her energies to the business at the expense of her sex life. When she meets handsome Gavin MacLellan, a transformation begins. Gavin is writing a book about Lori’s great-aunt, an erotic photographer who disappeared during World War II. Lori gets so wrapped up in solving the mystery that she accompanies Gavin to Paris to trace her ancestor’s past. A growing fascination with bondage and discipline leads her into a world of secrecy and danger.
