The year is 1476, the Renaissance is blooming, war beckons, and the Tudors rule in England. And in medieval France, Mary of Burgundy awaits the arrival of her noble and impressively-titled groom.
With a reputation as a skilled warrior, intelligent leader, and brave adventurer, Maximilian of Austria must win over the hearts and minds of Mary’s people as well as impress her. And she’s not easily impressed these days!
When Maximilian lays eyes on Mary for the first time, he knows that to be without her would be equal to death. His heart beats for her, his every desire is for her, and his body… The cravings are intense, the lust real.
But can he gain the trust of his young, virgin bride so that he can teach her the delicious pleasures of the flesh?
Will he scare her with his true passion or will she match his needs with her own?
