Four all-new hot tales of yore, by the queens of erotic fiction.

Claudia Dain heats up this collection with the story of two voyeuristic young courtesans who might just take part in a very public seduction at the theatre. Allyson James has a card-playing, cunning widower and a desperate young widow learn that passion is the ultimate wild card. And finally, Shiloh Walker introduces a short story of a woman saved by a shapeshifter. Now, if only she could think of a way to repay him? Rarely does such blush-worthy, heated erotica exist-and almost never all in one book.
