Book description
Viking invaders, punishing Pharaohs, naughty maids and lusty lords
come together in this collection of hot historical erotica.
In this selection of stories no one is quite as prim and proper - or
as tightly laced up - as you might think. A feisty female highwayman
finds love when she orders a duchess to stand and deliver, while a
headstrong Southern Belle embarks on an erotic battle of wills with a
Union soldier hunting a Confederate spy. And when the Bard of Avon
meets a girl with a yen to tread the boards and a taste for the
kinkiest of sex, all's well that ends well.

explore just how far she is willing to submit to his tastes, and how
enjoyable that can be…
