The country of Avon is in deep turmoil... The Uprising has overthrown Avon's monarchial
rulers and a decree has been issued. Candidates for the first presidential election will be
selected by the completion of a special task: to kill the former monarch of their home
province. Callum the son of the recently dethroned king is determined to be in the running.
But coming to terms with patricide will require the help of Lady Caterine a Gifted courtesan
at La Puissance Avon’s premiere sex club. Lady Caterine has always had the magical ability to
manipulate the emotions of anyone who experiences an orgasm in her presence. If Callum can only
open up to Cate he will be able to commit the newly fated murder without suffering the guilt
and take his place as the rightful candidate from his province. But Callum has a deep-seated
mistrust of the Gifted. And the last thing he expects is to be confronted with an undeniable
connection with Cate that neither of them understands or wants. With the fate of the country
at stake Callum and Cate search for ways to bare themselves to each other and discover a
darker force building within La Puissance one that might ruin the future of Avon forever. To
stop Avon from falling to ashes they must sacrifice everything they have . . . even if it
requires betraying each other.
