Abandoned on the roadside as an infant, Marianna Wren is
rescued and raised to servitude in the home of the woman
who adopts her. Marianna is content with her position until
a house guest takes consented sexual liberties with her,
and she is soon dismissed from her post. Thrown out into
the street with no means of support, she meets Miss
Calliope Wiles who initiates her further into the world of
the fleshly pleasures, and shows her how to prosper using
her new skills. Marianna travels with Miss Wiles to London
where she eventually transforms into Madame Bliss and gains
notoriety, wealth, and fame. She takes up with notable
rakes, fathers and sons, and beautiful damsels. Her
adventures lead to the unique Blackwood Abbey, where holy
initiates indulge in physical pleasures, the stained glass
windows depict lewd acts of fornication, and guests conceal
their identities beneath black robes. Although she screws
her way through her new world with an unabashed desire to
explore sensual pleasures, Marianna yearns for love, and
she eventually finds it with the most unexpected hero.

eighteenth-century beauty determined to claim exuberant
pleasure and delight from every waking moment, and from

temptations.
Before long, Marianna’s life is filled
with delectable seductions, extravagant ravishments, and
outrageous conquests of every flavor and fashion. Yet even
as lords and princes shower her with jewels, she longs for
the greatest pleasure of all—a chance at true love—and the
daring to risk everything to find it.
