Hilary Mantel meets Sylvia Day: the first instalment in a deliciously erotic trilogy, set against the sumptuous backdrop of the scandal-ridden Tudor Court.
England, 1536
Bound to him against her will . . .
Lord Wolf, hardened soldier and expert lover, has come to King Henry VIII’s court to claim his new bride: a girl who has intrigued him since he first saw her riding across the Yorkshire moors.
Eloise Tyrell, now lady-in-waiting to Queen Anne Boleyn, has other ideas. She has no desire to submit to a man she barely knows and who – though she is loath to admit it – frightens her not a little.
Then comes that first kiss . . .
It awakens in both a fierce desire that bares them to the soul. But as the court erupts into scandal around the ill-fated Queen, Eloise sees first-hand what happens when powerful men tire of their wives.
Dare she surrender her body and her heart?

It's Fifty Shades of Tudor sex, by Harry!
Wow, what a truly brilliant book. This truly exceeded all my expectations... This was a superb read, addictive, passionate, compelling and hot. A passionate love story which I cannot wait to continue with book two.
The most inevitable literary mash-up of the 21st century.
It's not just the bodices that are being ripped off in this rollicking and rude romp through Tudor England... Well-written and will sweep you breathlessly along.
