Carnal Rites

I've been in love with Lady Merlyn since we were children. But as a servant, I've always known she was beyond my reach. Her betrothed had me thrown out of her house in a fit of jealousy. Since then I've survived as a Pleasure Hound, selling my body to rich women just to keep food in my belly. But Merlyn has never left my heart. Now, all these years later, the same man who ruined my life comes to me with his hand out seeking my services in learning the art of pleasuring Merlyn. I want to refuse him, but the promise of pleasing her and ensuring her happiness is too great. What starts as an uneasy truce between me and my greatest enemy soon turns carnal when Merlyn learns of the secret lessons… and demands to be included. Two men want her heart, but what happens when what Merlyn wants is both of us—together? Once I have her in my arms, I vow I'll never let her go. If that means holding on to him as well, it may not be the hardship I always thought.
