Book description
While she was still trembling with the complete unexpectedness of
what Aeneas had just said and done, he leaned forward a little and
kissed her on the mouth. Just one swift, soft touch of his lips on
hers and then he turned and walked away.
Love can be deadly. Especially when two girls fall for the
same man - one a queen, the other her serving girl.
Elissa knows she is playing with fire, but she can't resist. Queen
Dido suspects nothing, until one fateful night . . . Secrets are
revealed, hearts are broken and as dawn breaks, a terrible tragedy unfolds.
A passionate tale of love, betrayal and revenge.
