"On the eve of her twentieth birthday, a young harlot manages to snatch up a mysterious, wealthy suitor from the streets of Paris and, the following day, she is whisked away to Versailles as his mistress. But that is not the only reason for her sudden departure. With a cryptic good bye from the only mother figure she has known, the bawd of the brothel, Colette is sent away to live amongst the painted faces of French courtiers and to serve the dauphin in secrecy.
Although the arrangement begins as any other between a harlot and her keeper, Colette soon finds that her payment is something far more valuable than a heavy purse and pretty gowns, and that the secrets of court are deadlier than the pox, especially when she stumbles upon the late queen’s chambers, which have been off-limits since the day of her death."
Surprise! Some of y'all may know that I took a hiatus to write something, and above is the description of it. It's set in 18th C France, and it is something I'm v proud of. However, I have a question for you all... Would anyone read it if I were to post it through patreon? I worked super hard on it, and was thinking of attempting to publish it as a real book, but this idea was suggested by a friend! Let me know what y'all think, and, as always, I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during this crazy time. xoxo
