Black Lace is the brand name of Virgin Publishing's highly successful imprint of erotic fiction written by women for women. With over two million copies of the books sold, the Black Lace series is the undisputed market leader in this new, exciting mass market fiction genre. The imprint has enjoyed continuous media attention since its launch in summer 1993. The books look good, are designed to appeal to the female readership, and are unashamedly explicit. Erotic writing by women for women is definitely going to stay on the publishing agenda for the 90s and beyond. Tour guide Karen finds sex and sun aplenty at the resort where she is based, but no respect. Using her fledgling skills as a dominatrix, she ventures along the path of self discovery and business success, but cannot win the one man she desires above all others.
