Romance Historical

Jahn and Alixandyr Beckyt are raised as the twin sons of a fisherman until they are discovered to be the lost sons of the Emperor of Columbyana. Alix, born with a dark side as well as a light side of his being, has been hiding this fact and trying to deal with it all his life. Jahn, being the oldest by mere minutes, is declared the Emperor upon their father's demise. The time has come for Jahn to search for a bride to produce an heir. Various sentinels have been sent to different regions to bring six noble beauties to appear before the Emperor as a possible bride. When Alix arrives with his party to escort Princess Edlyn from Tryfyn, he's given a gift that will change their lives. Sanura is a tantalizing, nearly naked, gorgeous woman who possesses the power to see the very pit of a person's soul. Raised for the sole purpose of satisfying her master's every desire, Sanura possesses tremendous abilities to give unbelievable sexual pleasures. She's tinted blue to avoid being touched by any man other than her master; an act punishable by death. Treachery and conspiracy follow Alix when Princess Edlyn is murdered and the blame placed on him and Sanura. Escaping to survive, Alix's dark side plots to overtake his body and kill Jahn to obtain the throne. Sanura knows Alix will not be able to live with that feat. Will the love Sanura and Alix desperately share allow them to make the right choices and will Sanura be able to prevent the Emperor's death? UNTOUCHABLE is extremely exciting with multiple twists and surprises. All of the characters are clearly defined. Plan to expect the unexpected throughout. The powers of Sanura are extraordinary, very imaginative and you will fall in love with her. I thoroughly enjoyed this work of art by Linda Winstead Jones and plan to watch for future novels in this series.

SUMMARY


For the Emperor of Colymbyana, no bride can compare to Sanura, an exotic slave with the power to see into men's souls. To touch her brings incredible pleasure — and certain death. Even for his brother, who loves her ardently. This is their story.
