The Princess's Handmaiden. The Court of Desire Chronicles, #5

Pearl dreamed of rising above the kitchens of Queen Seravine's court. She never expected her promotion to come with silken sheets, enchanted corridors, and a princess who refuses to play the Queen's games. Princess Blackberry is everything Pearl is not - refined, untouchable, and determined to stay pure in a palace built on pleasure. Tasked as her new handmaiden, Pearl expects dull days and lonely nights.
Instead, she finds herself drawn to the princess's quiet beauty, her curious warmth, and the flashes of loneliness behind those violet eyes. In a kingdom where obedience and indulgence are measured in equal parts, temptation lurks behind every curtain. The Queen's feasts are decadent displays of flesh and power, where even a glance can become a command. When Pearl and Blackberry are summoned to one of Seravine's infamous dinners, one act of defiance will ignite a chain of forbidden desires neither woman can contain.
But in Queen Seravine's world, every secret has a price. And when pleasure itself becomes a test of loyalty, the line between service and surrender blurs beyond recognition. Caught between the Queen's ruthless appetites and her own awakening heart, Pearl must decide what kind of woman she will be: a servant who obeys, or a lover who claims what she wants. The Princess's Handmaiden is the fifth book in the Court of Desire Chronicles, a fantasy erotica series set in Queen Seravine's decadent court where power is pleasure, and desire is the truest form of rebellion.
Explicit, sensual, and dangerously indulgent-this is a tale of temptation, tenderness, and the cost of falling in love when the Queen is watching.
