Tessa Shaw was a child of love, born out of wedlock to a ravishing, wanton aristocratic mother. Tessa was a plaything of love, from the moment she melted into her first lover's embrace. She was a mistress of love, as with her beauty, body and brains she rode the waves of men's lusts to dizzying heights where the strength of a king and the destiny of a nation trembled in her power.
A magnificent historical romance that sets the all-time peak of sweeping adventure, throbbing passion and naked exposure of a woman's heart.
