For all the woman who knew there was another side to the Sheriff of Nottingham... Maid Marian, now Lady of Leaford, is sent to the court of Prince John-not to take part in the dark debauchery of his Court of Pleasure, but to spy on him for the queen. Yet, unbeknownst to Marian, this secret mission will thrust her into a whirlwind of intrigue, terror, and the most carnal of temptations. At court, Marian is torn between her duty to the queen and her desire for two men: one, the mysterious highwayman the peasants call Robin Hood, and the other, the dark, cold Sheriff of Nottingham. Yet Marian finds she cannot escape the hedonistic carnality of Prince John's court in order to fulfill her duty to the queen. Bound by her honor, Marian's wits-and loyalties-are put to the test...but in the end, there is only one man for whom she will risk her life and give her heart.
