    About this ebook

    Jane, a servant girl, accidentally locks eyes with the visiting handsome, scientist Count Francesco-something forbidden between the classes of society. The Count seeks her out, to dole out her punishment and to use her for his own science experiments. Jane never thought she would like taking orders- until now.
