THE HOUSE WITH THE GOLDEN DOOR

Elodie Harper

This is the second in the historical fiction WOLF DEN TRILOGY. The life of a courtesan in Pompeii is glittering, yet precarious...
Amara has escaped her life as a slave in the town's most notorious brothel, but now her existence depends on the affections of her patron: a man she might not know as well as she once thought.

At night she dreams of the wolf den, still haunted by her past. Amara longs for the women she was forced to leave behind and worse, finds herself pursued by the man who once owned her. In order to be free, she will need to be as ruthless as he is.

Amara knows her existence in Pompeii is subject to Venus, the goddess of love. Yet finding love may prove to be the most dangerous act of all.

Beautifully written with great heart... Addictive reading.

One of my standout novels in recent years...

So beautiful, moving, captivating and thrilling. The House with the Golden Door is a brilliant sequel to The Wolf Den.

Richly evocative, and reeling with drama and the determined passion and conflicts of its unforgettable heroine, this is historical fiction at its most thrillingly entertaining.
