Now Eden is their last hope. If she can seduce the King, she can use her influence to clear Max's name and free her father from the Tower of London. But beneath her courtesan's smile lies a true heart. And Eden cannot deny her growing love for Max, whose very life now depends on giving herself to another . . .
