Of old, humans and Faeries have dwelt side by side in parallel realms. Only the canniest mortals recognize the alluring creatures that often walk--and lie--among them.
The righteous Fae of the Seelie Court cherish an ancient quarrel with their Dark counterparts: a curse born of anger and deceit. The Unseelie Court will perish unless one of is princes can win a woman's love--honestly, without coercion... and love her wholly in return.
To halt the slow demise of his people, Prince Thane--the embodiment of Lust--infiltrates the Georgian court to seduce his mortal inverse. Noblewoman Chastity Lennox is purity incarnate--a sensual prize well worth winning. But Thane's carnal quest proves more challenging than he ever dreamed.
No other has ever been able--or willing--to resist his erotic charms. Chastity's resolve is maddening... and intriguing. It makes him want her all the more. But how best to seduce one who truly seems above temptation? Discover her greatest weakness and become the intoxicating essence of her deepest, most forbidden desires...

Sexual
The Unseelie King (Dark Fae) falls in love/lust with the Seelie Queen (Good Fae), but she doesn’t love him - - so, he kidnaps her. Fast forward. . . She bears him twin sons and then takes off with one, Crom, but leaves the other one, Niall. Oh yeah, she also leaves one nasty curse behind too. Each of the Unseelie King’s sons will be cursed with a Cardinal Sin. In order for the Unseelie Court to thrive, the Sons will have to find their virtue/mate. That said mate will have to come to them of their own free will.
George Buckman, Duke of Lennox, has made a deal with the devil(s). Trouble is, he doesn’t know which one is worse. And when it comes time to pay his dues, both parties are looking to collect the same piece of
Chastity (a way of life that does not include any sexual activity): One entity. She cannot separate herself from her virtue. Thane and Lust: Two entities yet one, and both must be satisfied. A deliberate and, at times, tedious seduction of Chastity begins. For that to occur, Thane taps into Chastity’s darkest desire (aha moment). He surrounds, envelopes, and overwhelms her with his physical essence by way of fog, cloud, mist and perfume. Until she finally caves. Yet, he wasn’t supposed to use any Fae magic. There were two scenes in particular that were troublesome for me; more so what happens to Chastity immediately afterward. Although, it has more to do with my distaste of love making by spectral means. Oh, but the pointy ear scene was vera, vera nice.
What had possessed her? She had not been able to resist the lure. And yet, it had been a dream. No. She had been awake, but in some altered state. A fantasy. Yes. That is what it had been.
It will be quite a while before I look at a glass perfume bottle without cynicism.
Oh wait…a dream, a horrible dream…Bobby?!?
