His Forbidden Touch

Thacker's latest (after Hearts Run Wild) is a fun and erotic 14th-century romp. When Princess Ciara's castle at Chalons is conquered after many years of war, her royal father decides to stop the bloodshed by betrothing her to the evil prince responsible for the devastation. But rebel forces are determined to stop the marriage even if it means killing the beautiful princess. To get his daughter to her bridegroom, the king recalls Royce Saint-Michel whom he had stripped of his titles and lands four years before. According to the king's terms, if Royce safely delivers the Princess he will recover all, but, if he so much as touches her, he's dead. Needless to say, that isn't quite how things turn out. Loaded with detailed sex and non-stop adventure, Thacker has control from cover to cover. (May)
