Almost lost in a storm-tossed sea, Jenna Hayward is
grateful to defy death. Finding herself alone on a
deserted island except for three of her other lucky
shipmates, she discovers that having so many attractive
men around can be both uncomfortable and…intriguing.
Jonathan Richmond is used to a life of privilege and
wealth. The one thing he isn't used to is having to share.
Fighting off deadly serpents, vicious jungle cats, and the
occasional engulfing storm, three men and a lovely woman
struggle to find a peace and to let their desires run wild
without disturbing the delicate equilibrium of their
unusual little society.
All goes well, until by a twist of fate they are rescued,
and suddenly the strictures of proper English protocol
intrude on savage shores…

REVIEWS
for Savage Shores [The
Improper Ladies 1]
5 Blue Ribbons:
"Emma Wildes certainly knows how to
capture readers interest and keep them
entertained until the last page. In
Savage Shores, Ms. Wildes takes what
would appear to be a hopeless situation
and puts a positive spin on it. Each of
these characters displays an amazing
amount of fortitude and willingness to
adapt that I found admirable. I do have to
admit that I love how Jenna chooses to
alleviate the tension - there’s no better
release for tension than sex and she has
three men ready, willing and able to share
her bed. If you were trapped on a deserted
island with three gorgeous men and no idea
if or when you’d be rescued, would you be
worried about your virtue? I know I
certainly wouldn’t!" —Chrissie,

5 Flags:
"Emma Wildes has an amazing flair for
taking what could be considered
controversial subject matter and turning
it into a beautiful love story that has
the reader cheering for the characters at
the end of the book! It is a truly rare
and remarkable talent! " —Kerin,
Euro-Reviews
"Now this is the way to be
lost at sea. Savage Shores is a
very erotic read with likeable and
sensible characters. The characters plan
to be on the island for the long haul and
have to be concerned about shelter, food
and basic needs in general. Emma Wildes
does a fantastic job of writing in not
only the naivety of the main character but
how 3 worldly gentlemen deal with it.
Super steamy read for the upcoming beach
season, let your imagination run wild.
Savage Shores is the start of another
winning series by Emma Wildes."—Tanya,

STORY EXCERPT
Setting aside the comb, she visibly squared her slender
shoulders. Her voice was even and she glanced around the fire,
looking each of them in the eye one by one. “It seems to me
that we cannot exist together peaceably without coming to some
sort of…arrangement. I am naïve I suppose, in many ways, but
not quite as much so as before the shipwreck. Men’s bodies
seem to have a…wayward need for copulation. I cannot help but
notice—that is—sometimes—it is obvious—” she stammered, two
spots of color visible high in her cheeks even in the
firelight.
Realizing she meant that she had noticed the telltale bulge of
an erection at some time or another, of which every single one
of them was probably guilty, Charles flushed too and shifted
uncomfortably. “We apologize most sincerely but it isn’t
something a man can help, my lady. I don’t know which one of
us offended you, but it wasn’t on purpose. You are…very
beautiful,” he finished lamely.
“Thank you,” she said in a hushed voice, her gaze lowered
demurely. “And I wasn’t offended particularly. I was a little
surprised, I suppose. It seems like such a basic response.”
“Men,” Jonathan admitted wryly, “are basic creatures. Enforced
abstinence is difficult at any time, but a little more so when
one spends time with a lovely half-dressed woman. It is simply
a fact.”
She nodded. “That is my concern. I do not want you fighting
over me, which is what I feel might eventually happen. We are
not in a London drawing room any longer. You are all
gentlemen, but that is learned behavior, not innate.” Jenna
took a deep breath, her breasts swaying provocatively under
her shift. “Your urges are not tempered here by the
opportunity for a discreet affair. I might be innocent but I
have been around soldiers before. Each one of you is
attractive, so I have no doubt you are rarely…abstinent.
However, I would not ever give myself to any man if it would
betray his marriage vows.”
For a long heartbeat, no one spoke. Jonathan felt a frisson of
pure anticipation run through his body. “What exactly do you
propose, Jenna?” Even to his own ears, his voice sounded odd.
Her hand shook slightly as she lifted it to smooth back a
shimmering strand of hair caught by the light breeze. In the
distance, thunder rumbled again, growing closer, and the sea
licked the shore nearby in a sibilant whisper. “You could
share me. Back home, I suppose that would make me a whore—”
“You are the farthest thing possible from a whore,” Jonathan
interrupted shortly, not even certain how to feel about what
she had just said. “Don’t be ridiculous.”
She continued with impressive dignity. “However, I cannot
think of another way to prevent discord. My virtue means
nothing if we never leave here. If we are rescued, I will have
been here with the three of you all this time, so my
reputation will already be tarnished even if you never touch
me.”
“You do not have to do this,” Anthony Reeves said, but his
gaze suddenly glittered and his wide shoulders were tense. “We
can behave ourselves.”
“I realize you would try.” She shook her head, moving her
luxuriant hair. “But already this afternoon I saw the fury in
your eyes, Major, when you found me with Lord Charbeau.
Besides, this is not exclusively your problem, either. I am a
normal female and I cannot help but be curious over what it
would be like to lie with a man. Who knows now, with this
twist fate has given us, if I will ever marry. I enjoyed
Jonathan’s kiss this afternoon and could probably be convinced
to allow him greater liberties.” Her smile was faint and
slightly ironic. “I have a feeling he is a most persuasive man
and recall hearing rumors of his romantic exploits while in
London last year. Do you honestly think he will not be able to
seduce me eventually? And when he does, will you not be
frustrated and angry?”
Reeves looked uncomfortable. He shoved his fingers into his
thick hair, his mouth twisting. “Since you are being so
forthright, I cannot deny you affect me. But I feel as if we
are forcing this upon you.”
She rose, graceful in the firelight, framed by the eerie
flickering lights over the water, and daintily brushed a
little of the obsequious sand that seemed to be everywhere
from her arm. “We are comrades, so to speak, trapped in a most
unusual situation. You all take care of me right down to
providing food and shelter. I suppose this is my contribution,
if you will. All I ask is that you work things out between you
so there is no rancor.”
Out of sheer habit, they had also gotten politely to their
feet when she stood, old customs deeply ingrained and
exercised even on a wild island in the middle of a foreign
sea.
Jenna stood there, a vision in her lacy attire, all soft
voluptuous curves and glorious beauty. “I am retiring now. I
assume one of you will join me soon enough. Good night,
gentlemen.”
ADULT EXCERPT
It would be morning soon.
On his side, the small shelter wreathed in darkness, Jonathan
lightly touched the woman sleeping next to him, feeling a
little guilty, but enough to stop. In the dim light she looked
ethereal and unfairly lovely, her voluptuous body gilded by
filtered moonlight, her tumbled hair like spun gold. His sperm
was on her slim thighs, glistening in thin rivulets.
She was right, of course. They were all under the spell of
forces ancient as time itself. The need to eat, to sleep and
protect their carefully carved out space on the island …the
need to find a sexual partner. Those basics occupied their
every waking moment.
In a few hours, she would belong to someone else.
There was no reason not to wake her, he decided selfishly. She
could sleep late in the morning. He was straining and erect,
his cock rigid with the sort of need he had never felt for
another woman…by the gods, he’d almost told her that earlier.
Leaning over her, he eased her on her back and covered her
body, gently pushing her legs apart and settling between them.
She began to wake as he nibbled on her neck, his throbbing
penis nudging her female opening. “Let me know when you’re
ready,” he murmured against the curve of her throat. “But
don’t,” he said, lifting his head and smiling wickedly into
her sleepy eyes, “take too long.”
“Jonathan.” His name was a sigh and her hands lifted to
lightly rest on his back. “Don’t you ever rest?”
“Why would I rest?” he asked, kissing her right breast, savory
the silky firmness, “when you are so deliciously available.”
“What if I prefer to sleep?” she asked, her eyes still
half-closed.
“Do you?” He sucked her nipple into his mouth, teasing it with
his tongue.
“No.” Her breath shuddered in her chest as he nibbled and
licked at the bud. The admission, and the fact that she was
already slick with his discharge from their earlier
intercourse, made him enter her with slow pressure, not able
to suppress a low sound of satisfaction as he was enveloped in
perfect tight wet heat. Jenna lifted her hips to accept and
take him deeper, opening her thighs wide and raising her legs
to put them around his waist. This time he didn’t feel just
the violent need for carnal release, but also the need to
touch and kiss her, and he moved slowly, looking into her
eyes. He could hear the soft wet sounds of his penis sliding
in and out of her vagina, registering the changes in her
breathing as she began to climb that orgasmic peak, holding
back as he made love to her with infinite finesse, a distinct
difference from their wild joining earlier.
“Please,” she finally begged, “Oh, Jonathan…harder.”
He kissed her flushed cheek, not complying, loving her
breathless moans. “It’s good this way, my love. Don’t be so
impatient, you’ll get there.”
Her small hands clutched frantically at his back. “I don’t
want to wait…Oh God, you’re so big…it feels so good. Help me.”
The truth was, he didn’t want to wait either. “Anything for
the lady’s pleasure,” he murmured, and suddenly pushed
incredibly deep, making her cry out. Pulling back, he did it
again, fast and hard, touching her trembling womb. Her
resulting orgasm was intense and instant, her legs locking as
she lifted against him, forcing him as deep as he could go,
her eyes tightly shut as she uttered a low, keening scream...
