Legend tells of a lost valley high in the Himalayas—a place where fantasy, sensuality, and pleasure reign supreme. Diandra is determined to find this magical place . . . at any cost. A beautiful and sexually adventurous cultural anthropologist, Diandra is exhilarated when an intriguing exotic stranger offers to take her to his legendary hidden village a world away. Marriage is the price, he tells her, and Diandra hesitantly agrees. But after an arduous journey to the breathtaking Lost Valley, she is stunned to discover that local custom demands she be the wife to all of her new husband's virile brothers as well—and that each union must be consummated . . . before the entire village! At first shocked, Diandra soon finds her new role deliciously appealing, as the passionate attentions of three enthusiastic lovers carry her to new pinnacles of erotic satisfaction. But there is a mysterious fourth brother—proud, handsome, hot, charismatic, and resentful of an arrangement that forces him to share. When Yeshi returns to the valley, suddenly Diandra's simple life of nonstop pleasure is not so simple anymore . . . as taboos are broken and passions spin wildly, unexpectedly out of control.

Diana Mercury
Author · 2 books
Diana Mercury was born on a tropical island to a poor farm girl from Kansas and a handsome Navy pilot. She grew up in Santa Barbara, a tomboy, hunting lizards and polliwogs, riding bikes and horses, swimming in rivers and body surfing in the ocean. She was a dreamy child, a loner, always making up stories and drawing pictures. She lost her mother when she was fifteen and left childhood behind. She traveled throughout the United States and other countries, from Canada and Mexico to Europe and down through South America. But her favorite place has always been California, with all its diversity—and her stories and paintings are often inspired by the sensual beauty of the land. She studied music, dance, and art, and worked as a waitress, a photographer’s model, an English tutor, and a belly dancer. In college she took courses in architecture and interior design and later started a remodeling construction business with her husband. She became passionate about old houses and began to buy and restore them. She turned to writing as a full time career after the death of her husband. She now lives on a hill near San Francisco in an old hunting cabin.
