title: Pleasure and Purpose
author: Hart, Megan
description: 'The Handmaidens of the Order of Solace are named for the exquisite service.. that best reflect their true Calling. Their greatest pleasure is granting solace -- devoted as they are to fulfilling the desires of the mind, the needs of the soul, and the cravings of the body.
  
  STILLNESS...Her mission is to soothe the conscience of Edward, a man in need of redemption after a shocking sexual act destroyed a friendship and resulted in a tragedy only spoken about in hushed whispers. What Edward needs is love -- the one thing a Handmaiden is forbidden to offer. But Stillness may be willing to break the rules.
  
  HONESTY...She has been with the Order too long, and her heart grows ever more reluctant to serve. Her final assignment is to Cillian, Prince of Firth -- handsome, charmingly irascible, and looking for a maiden who will bend to his every whim. Instead, he gets the unexpected -- a bold, fresh, and daring experiment...in Honesty.
  
  DETERMINATA...When confronted with an unusual client like Alaric, a man growing more and more lost in a haze of oblivion, there are many ways for a Handmaiden to provide solace -- and they don't all involve submission. Mina has just the plan to literally whip her man into shape.
