The Alchemist's Apprentice. The Court of Desire Chronicles, #4

Rosalia came for knowledge, not desire. Chosen as an apprentice to a master alchemist, she expected hours of grinding herbs and memorizing recipes. Instead she steps into Queen Seravine's court-a place where silk robes slip easily to the floor, every corridor hums with heat, and service is measured in obedience as much as skill. Master Godfrey is brilliant, brooding, and far too captivating for Rosalia's peace of mind.
He insists he does not join the Queen's games, yet his restraint burns hotter than any flame, and every accidental touch tempts them both closer to ruin. When Seravine demands her apprentices test a shimmering golden potion, the line between lesson and surrender vanishes. Desire coils tighter with each command, each glance, until Rosalia must decide whether clinging to resistance will protect her-or whether yielding is the only way to survive the Queen's attention, and Godfrey's.
The Alchemist's Apprentice is the fourth book in the Court of Desire Chronicles, a fantasy erotica series where each tale follows a new character's fall into Queen Seravine's decadent world. Explicit, seductive, and dangerously indulgent-the Court always takes what it wants.
