To inspire their love-play, Maeve weaves this intoxicating, erotic bedtime tale for her husband.

Queen Philomena's love-life has been prescribed by duty. Hardly more than a child when she married the aged king, the young widow yearns to experience the ways of love in one singular night of passion before entering another loveless marriage of state. Sent to the Queen's chamber to "amuse" Her Majesty, Dante is handsome, fascinating...and much too insolent. At first, Philomena is determined to assert her control, but as the night progresses, she discovers pleasures she'd never imagined and surrenders to ecstasy.
