The novellas included in this anthology are all historical and the characters are high- ranking individuals - some in fact, are royalty. There is a story about a woman falling in love with a scoundrel type, another where the heroine is trying to escape her overbearing mother and one that was particularly enjoyed about a servant who is encouraged by her mistress to mingle with the higher ranking guests. Each novella is jam packed with romance and a sensuality that readers will enjoy. Each story has a heroine that woman can relate to and a hero they want to be with.
