*** Erotica Romance ~~ SHORT NOVELLA ~~ 21,778 words in length ~ For Adults 18+ Only***
He loved her but for all the wrong reasons...
Goodman Thomas Marlowe needs a wife. He loves his neighbor’s beautiful and sensual bondswoman Rosalind Abramson but for all the wrong reasons. A love based on lustful desires is not a worthy reason to marry a woman. And there can be no sex outside of marriage in Puritan New England. Valiantly, he fights to keep his feelings hidden. Yet he has been a widower for over a year and he burns inside with his fiery passionate desires. He can't eat, he can't sleep, he can't think of anything but his lovely Rosalind. He's reaching a breaking point and facing a painful decision.
Rosalind yearns for the handsome Goodman Marlowe. Yet beneath his kind action lies a cool distance that tells her he cannot forgive Rosalind’s shameful past. She’s determined to deny an infatuation with a man who will never respect her.
Thomas knows he needs a wife. It is better to marry than to burn. However, he cannot focus on finding a bride while the unsuitable Rosalind is always so close and so alluring. Now he’s about to take a teaching position in another town. It’s the perfect escape for a man tormented by unacceptable carnal desire.
Late one night, in the midst of a summer’s hot spell, Thomas spies Rosalind in the woods, clad only in her shift, dancing in the moonlight. It’s really more than a man celibate for three years can bear. Thomas is in danger of falling into a sin so powerful it threatens to challenge everything he thinks he knows about himself and life…

What People Are Saying About A MIDSUMMER'S SIN:
"I loved this sensual tale from beginning to end. Both characters touched my heart. Natasha writes historical erotic romance that sizzles and heats up the pages. Her writing blends together perfectly. The details take you into her world and make you want to stay there...
This story will stay with me for a long time to come. This is a must read! " ~ Let's Get Romantical
"I remember when I first started reading historical romances..how I was so engulfed in the stories of love and just the premise of a woman being swept off her feet by someone who she totally wasn't expecting. I haven't read historical romances in a loooong while and Natasha Blackthorne is one of the reasons why I started to love this genre again." ~ Salacious Reads
A MIDSUMMER'S SIN was awarded the "Recommended Read" award by Two Lips Reviews:
"...a very sensual but romantic love story, and having the hero as a Puritan with specific views of sex and marriage, and the heroine a person with the same views though skewed by her own experiences only makes their struggle to find some common ground that much more dramatic." ~ Two Lips Reviews. less
