A young courtesan is torn between the man she loves and the king who could spare his life in this "rare treat" from the New York Times bestselling author (Romantic Times).
The base-born daughter of an earl and a courtesan, nineteen-year-old Eden is torn from her foster family, whisked off to London, and groomed to follow in her mother's footsteps. Her lessons in court etiquette are overseen by the striking Flemish prince Maximilian, who has fallen on hard times.

But those times get even harder when both Max and Eden's father are branded as Jacobites intent on killing His Highness, William of Orange. 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 . . .
