The endlessly varied arts of love as pictured in their ancient Books of Bliss are everything to the sensual Ardentians, just as licensed pleasure partners Ezmond and Gizella are everything to each other. Their sexual explorations know no boundaries and have no limitations.

Then in an unexpected twist of fate, the aristocratic couple crosses paths and swords with Hunter, a magnificent and fiercely celibate Embrian warrior from the Uncivil Wasteland tribes ringing the lavish city-state of Ardentia. Gizella is as intrigued by Hunter’s tattooed body as she is with his disgust of all things sexual. Ezmond discovers Gizella’s fascination leads to an entirely new level in their sexual play that even the ever-lustful Ezmond never conceived.

In a battle of wills, Gizella will draw Hunter’s hunger to the surface, releasing it until the proud Embrian doesn’t just become carnal, he is carnality incarnate and a triad of pleasure is formed. In a city dedicated to sexual freedom, it is Hunter’s reluctant seduction that may decide the fate of both their worlds.

Reader Advisory: Ardentians have no taboos. Sexual expression in all its forms is a tantalizing adventure for them. In Book One the journey of captive bondage, pleasure-pain and male/male exploration begins.
