About this series
Three tales of holy men falling for forbidden women.
In Pleasure Rites, a young monk is given the chance to redeem himself from scandal when he is called upon to train Lady Chanyn and her two bonded mates in the orgasmic arts. But what starts as a simple ritual soon turns carnal when the monk's heart begins to yearn for the woman, and hers for his.
In Carnal Rites, a former pleasure hound falls in love with an upper-class woman he can never have. When her fiance approaches him for training in the arts of the marriage bed, he cannot refuse anything that will bring her happiness -even as it crushes his heart. The two rivals set aside their differences for a common goal and, unexpectedly, come to enjoy each other. When Lady Merlyn uncovers their secret, she is torn between the hound she's loved since she was a young girl and the man who would do anything to rule her heart.
In Sacred Rites, prim and proper Lady Alyss secretly becomes the muse of a former pleasure hound turned artist. The sensual painter and his husband are both drawn to her, even as she is pitted against them in a legal battle over men's rights. With her future on the line in the case, she can't afford to give in to the two men's sensual pastimes. So why is she posing nearly nude with her legs spread, her hands bound, and her eyes closed in the ecstasy known as rope bliss?
Also included for the box set are two short stories featuring your favorite pleasure monk, Jian, in two bonus epilogues with his new bondmates.

What starts as a simple ritual soon turns carnal when a monk falls for a betrothed woman under his tutelage. Growing up in a world where men outnumber women ten to one, I escape a lonely existence and become a Pleasure Monk. When one of our precious, rare women chooses the men who will be her protectors and bondmates, I instruct them in the art of feminine pleasure. Though I can never find a love of my own, at least I have a purpose in teaching others to cater to a woman's every sexual need. Or I had a purpose. My services were sought after by many bonded females. Until the day I screwed up. Literally. Now I have a final chance to redeem myself. If I fail again, the entire Order of Pleasure Monks is in jeopardy. However, when I meet my new charge, all my plans crumble into dust. Lady Chanyn is pure perfection, a blessing from the Goddess, who awakens my heart and my loins. I will risk anything to have her—my brothers, my vows, my future. I will not stop until she is mine.

What starts as an uneasy truce, soon turns carnal when two rivals vie for the object of their desire. I've been in love with Lady Merlyn since we were children. But as a servant, I've always known she was beyond my reach. Her betrothed had me thrown out of her house in a fit of jealousy. Since then I've survived as a Pleasure Hound, selling my body to rich women just to keep food in my belly. But Merlyn has never left my heart. Now, all these years later, the same man who ruined my life comes to me with his hand out seeking my services in learning the art of pleasuring Merlyn. I want to refuse him, but the promise of pleasing her and ensuring her happiness is too great. What starts as an uneasy truce between me and my greatest enemy soon turns carnal when Merlyn learns of the secret lessons… and demands to be included. Two men want her heart, but what happens when what Merlyn wants is both of us—together? Once I have her in my arms, I vow I'll never let her go. If that means holding on to him as well, it may not be the hardship I always thought.

What starts as a battle of wills soon turns carnal when an activist and a highborn young lady strike up an indecent proposal. In a matriarchal society where men are second class citizens, I've found my purpose advocating to increase my gender's rights. Lady Alyss and I are on opposing sides of legislation that could improve the lot of men in our world—so why does my mouth get dry and my arguments falter whenever she's around? But the lady is harboring a colorful secret, breaking the bonds of propriety and the expectations of her powerful family by serving as the muse to my artist bondmate. He finds inspiration in her sensuous body, and while I should hate her, I can't stop myself from being drawn to her as well. With the fate of men everywhere in the balance, I stand to lose more than my husband and the woman we are both coming to crave. But he and I are in agreement—we have to make her ours, regardless of the consequences.
