[2021 WATTYS Winner] Giovanna joins a handsome nobleman to save a friend from an arranged marriage, but they discover a plot that may have victims of Venice's Black Death rising from their graves. * * * As a child, Giovanna Visconti learned the arts of bloodletting and elixir brewing from her father with an intent to simply support his work, not take it over. But when he falls ill from the pestilence that's been ravaging Venice for months, she reluctantly dons the beaked mask of the plague doctor. Vowing to protect her father however she can, Giovanna hides him away and sees her first patient--the handsome, but alarmingly feverish Matteo Barozzi. Although she successfully treats this son of a high-ranking official, in a careless moment Giovanna fails to properly conceal her identity. The only reason she isn't tossed into a dank jail cell is thanks to the young man's honor and feelings of indebtedness. The association between the charming aristocrat and the clever commoner should end there, but when Giovanna's dearest friend goes missing right after her betrothal to the Doge's son and amid strange reports of nighttime attacks, violent commotions, and inexplicable behaviors in the community, the only person Giovanna can turn to for help is Matteo. Together, they must carefully navigate Venice's increasingly deadly canals to uncover a sect peddling false cures and a smuggling plot involving the highest levels of government or risk the entire Republic falling victim to something even worse than the plague: the risen dead.

He yanked off her baseball cap, tossed it away, sunk his fingers into her hair under the band that held her pony tail, loosened her hair out of the band and smoothened her long tresses out. "Now, I'll ask again...for the last time..." He said, his lips awfully close to hers that she could almost taste the scotch in his breath while his eyes held her shocked ones.

I glared up at him my eyes narrowed, "Excuse me?" I was beyond livid by the words that just came out of his mouth. My glare didn't falter when Parker towered over me, clenching his jaw while trapping me against his desk. "You heard me." Parker's voice was low and intimidating that it made me feel so small. But I wasn't going to let him get to me. Standing up taller, I snapped, "I will not be your personal toy, available for you to do just as you please! I do not want to be held captive against my will, and not even have a say in anything. To be honest, I don't even want a mate." "You will do everything and anything I say, do you hear me?"

"How old are you? Two and twenty? You pretend to look strong but in here..." He tapped her chest with a finger and she flinched. "You are weak...all women are. I could turn you over and take you right here on the grass and there's nothing you'd be able to do about it except thrust your arse back at me like the lustful maid you'll become in time." Her face contorted in anger at his presumptions. "You women pretend not to want what you all crave in within your very souls but when given the chance, you all are like wildfire." "I'm no part of them and I tell it to your face now that I do not desire you!" She huffed with growing irritation. He smiled. "Stubborn and resolute, aren't you?" Then he suddenly slipped his hand behind her back and grabbed her arse then pushed her against himself, making her gasp aloud, his unruly behaviour was shocking, and her eyes grew rounder when she felt his erection pressing against her crotch. His eyes never left her face. "You see what you do to me, little Maid? Not even Lady Kristine could make me that hard or even cajole my cock to rise a second time and yet it grows rigid from just watching you stand before me in a torn dress." He said quietly to her face. With everything happening too fast, her nervousness heightened and she grew agitated. "I warn you to release me this minute, your grace!" She grated, stiffening in his arms and trying to pry herself away from his still-growing warm erection. 4/6/16 ©All Rights Reserved.
