    About this ebook

    This is a historical erotic short story (word count 4,562).

    The Duke of Highgate is looking for a certain woman to satisfy his demands and believes he may just have found that certain someone when by chance he crosses paths with Chantelle at a masquerade ball.

    Chantelle on her part finds herself overwhelmed and excited by the Duke in equal measure. With it being rather daunting to think that on her first assignment as a Courtesan she will have to fulfil the needs and desires of the charismatic and devilishly attractive Duke who is determined for her to submit to him completely!

      My mother was a great one for sayings that very nearly made sense. ‘You’ve always been a dreamer, Rosemary,’ she said. ‘If your head wasn’t screwed on, it’d probably fall off.’ She was also a great one for sayings that didn’t seem to make any sense
