title: Rose Red Unadorned
author: Laurenti, Jacinta
description: In the middle of the night, alone in her chamber, Rose Red, Duchess of Aeckland is confronted by a stranger. After riding on horseback through the wee small hours, her captor delivers the noblewoman to an enchanting manor house where she is welcomed by the beguiling Gesine. Provoked and aroused, Rose's insatiable hunger leads the two women to indulge in a naughty game of hide-and-go-seek with ripe luscious grapes and strawberries bursting with flavor. They continue their playfulness in a bathing pool where the water surges, bubbles and swirls over and around the lovers as they while away the afternoon. But Rose has a choice to make. Does she stay with Gesine or does she return to her old life?
