In My Lady Queen, the Crusader is summoned to the city of Tyre, which is threatened with siege. The fearless hero is pitted against the wiles of the beautiful and notoriously vicious Luisa de Vermandois, and is called upon to employ his sensual art to charm Saracen secrets from a desperate lady spy. These bawdy and rousing tales of fierce battle and fiery passion tell of exotic intrigue and unbridled desire in an era when savage pleasure and superhuman courage went hand in hand.
