Lady Janet Fraser is told she must leave the court and travel to her new estate along with the formerly convent bound Lady Marjorie Hepburn, now Janet's ward. To ensure they arrive safely the king assigns his champion Sir Lachlan "the Beast" Ross to guide them hence.

Janet, once the king's lover, and recently-ish widowed, has always had a tender for the Beast, but is also finding the virginal Lady Marjorie quite alluring. What is a domme to do when she also discovers they both are eager to kneel before her feet? Why find a sturdy chaise and engage a delightfully delicious love affair of course.

But the queen is still angry with both Janet and Marjorie, and a plot to wed Marjorie off to a much older man means Lachlan must marry if she is to stay, threatening all of their lives as they defy the king.

So entirely sexy, I ate this one right up. I always appreciate Davidson's care in her characters and the care they take of each other. This becomes truly a match of equals once they navigate some prickly issues, namely Marjorie's willingness to have children and Janet's inability to become pregnant.
