La Contessa (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781837919123)

The most decadent city... The most perverted mistress.

Renowned for her beauty and cruelty, La Contessa's reputation as a dominatrix is well established. And 18th century Venice has degenerated into a decadent and lascivious city, a perfect backdrop for her to play-out her debauched games and political ambitions.

La Contessa sends her maid, Julia, into the alleyways to search for a young man to act as her slave. Julia finds Roberto prostituting himself in the least salubrious district of Venice. He enters into La Contessa's service to act out her bizarre and sadistic scenarios.

Yet from their first meeting there is a mutual attraction between maid and servant. The young couple engineer a series of sexual encounters, knowing the risks should their mistress discover them. Their situation is complicated when La Contessa rescues a girl named Becky and brings her to the palazzo to act as her submissive girl-slave. The interloper exposes Julia's jealousies... and the feelings for her mistress.

How long can Roberto and Julia keep their love secret? Will Becky's presence thwart their relationship? And will La Contessa's scheming bring her the richest prize in all Venice?

All must be resolved before the Grand Ball, a masked BDSM orgy held by La Contessa in her palazzo as the climax to Venice's Carnivale...
