About this ebook

For Annalise Marony, taking her vows as a Handmaiden isn’t a matter of faith –it’s a matter of the heart.

Betrothed to her childhood companion Jacquin, Annalise finds herself facing a lifetime of marriage to a man she loves – but who can never be a true husband to her. Determined that neither of them shall face that fate, Annalise concocts a plan. She will enter the Order of Solace just long enough for their previous arrangement to be sundered, giving them both the out they desire.

What Annalise does not expect is to find something more important to her than escape in her lessons of service at the Order.

Cassian Toquin is a man of secrets, a carrier of lies. As Annalise’s teacher in the Order, he also becomes her formidable foe…and, perhaps, the only man to fulfill her destiny.

When love and faith collide, there can be only one path to absolute solace – if only Annalise and Cassian can bring themselves to walk it.


Five Principles of the Order of Solace
1. There is no greater pleasure than providing absolute solace.
2. True patience is its own reward.
3. A flower is made more beautiful by its thorns.
4. Selfish is the heart that thinks first of itself.
5. Women we begin and women we shall end.

Editor's Note

Explicit and Romantic...

Megan Hart’s “Order of Solace” series continues with “Selfish is the Heart.” But this time, instead of being about a Handmaiden and her assignment, it delves into the process of what it takes to become a Handmaiden in the first place. While the book is sexually explicit, it also is a classic romance, showing the push and pull of courtship as the prospective Handmaiden learns her craft from her teacher.
