From the essence of desire...a king's baby!
While exiled King Alix Saint Croix lies in wait to reclaim his throne a mistress would provide a welcome distraction. He enters a Parisian perfume house to buy fragrance for a current lover — and leaves with a powerful craving for another woman altogether: stunningly exotic perfumer Leila Verughese.
The very smell of Alix awakens Leila's every nerve. If she's going to give her innocence to anyone, who better than a king? But it's an alchemy with life-changing repercussions. Now Leila's life spirals out of control — until she realises her power...she's carrying a royal heir!
