Erotic Historical
Paul Rumsfeld, a lonely, rich, widower, seeks Evangeline’s
hand in marriage. He is her first real marital prospect, as
the entire village considers her damaged goods. Rumors
abound about the way Evangeline and her sister Rose Red,
serviced the Black Bear who resided at their hearth during
one particularly hard, bitter winter. Evangeline did no
such thing, but no man pays her court. She accepts Paul’s
offer to marry him, while trying to ignore the vile
gossipmongers’ talk in the village that Paul’s last four
wives died under bizarre—and troubling—circumstances. Is
Paul a Bluebeard, or is he an innocent man? Evangeline
trusts her husband implicitly, but the rumors are hard to
ignore.
They marry and she travels with him to his marvelous villa
on the sea. Once there, she is introduced to the household
servants, including the grim and reproving Mathilda.
Mathilda is a formidable opponent, and it takes all of
Evangeline’s guile and resources to outmaneuver the
imperious maidservant. Evangeline soon finds herself with
child, and with the support of the midwife, she begins to
exert her will. Out with the restricting corsets and stays!
Evangeline has no desire to confine her body to the
dictates of fashion. She wants her baby to be healthy and
strong, and the only way to do that is to ensure her own
comfort. Mathilda is horrified, but cannot bend Evangeline
to her will.
At the same time, Evangeline is attempting to breach the
citadel that is her husband’s broken heart. Paul honestly
cannot say how it has come to pass that he is the widower of
four deceased wives, each one expiring under odd and
distressing circumstances. As a result, he has locked down
his heart to any further intimacy. He is half-convinced
that Evangeline shall also die, and it would be unbearable
if he were to allow her into his heart.
