A Fire in the Garden

The young Dauphin was not expecting to enjoy one moment of the lavish coming-of-age cotillion the King had planned for him, but courtly etiquette required him to be there with the rest of French nobility no matter how dreadful it was. That is, until an unexpected guest catches the prince's attention, a young noble whose undeniable charm might only be matched by the secrets he holds close to his chest. As their connection grows over the weeklong celebration, it becomes clear that there may be something fated in their attraction, as both men become entangled in a dangerous game of influence that threatens to consume them all.

👑 An alternate history romance, inspired by the Delights of the Enchanted Island party that took place at Versailles AND the Affair of the Poisons that shocked the court, both in the 17th century

🍃 No promises on historical accuracy but many promises for some indulgent, sexy fun.
