ROBIN SCHONE
THEIR PASSION SHAKES THE FOUNDATION OF VICTORIAN SOCIETY.
“Only I will hear you cry out my name when you come.
Only I will see your eyes grow wide with vulnerability when your body convulses.
Only I will feel you milk me like a fist.
Only I will know that underneath your bustle and your petticoats and your drawers, you leak my seed.
Only I will ever know you like this....”
HE is a 47-year-old Queen's Barrister: His life is English law. SHE is a 49-year-old widow: Her life is her family.
But neither English law nor a loving family recognize a woman’s right to love. No one escapes the consequences of their explosive affair.

“There’s a lot more than explicit sex—although there is plenty of that—to this frankly erotic romance, which takes a hard look at Victorian double standards and the penalties for women who ignore them and with feminist aplomb puts everything into perspective.” -Library Journal
