Hidden for two centuries, the diary of a sexual adventuress reveals the remarkable life of The Acolyte, Lady Létice Marie de Saint-Juste, the willful daughter of a wealthy planter on the island of Martinique. The young Létice is sent to Paris by her father, to be sheltered behind the high walls of a convent school. But the vessel carrying her to France is captured by Salé privateers, and Létice is set on an altogether different journey, into the alien world of the Ottoman Seraglio.
There, she becomes Zarqa, the Blue-Eyed Woman, and the training for her new life in the harem begins. It will part a silken curtain to reveal a world unimagined. In a single, shattering night she becomes ikbal, a favorite, and from these heights she will learn the fearful weight of power within the Seraglio.
Hardened by tragedy, Létice escapes, back to a world that now seems just as alien to her. Lost in the elegant salons of Paris and London, she abandons the Old World for America, arriving in its capital of sudden, glittering wealth, New York, where she’s determined to build a new life. But her well-laid plans made no account of Jack McClain, powerful, playful, contemptuous of any rules but his own. Jack is a gamesman of unmatched skill, and as the contest unfolds, this Acolyte will finally find the tender Master who will teach her how little submission resembles defeat.

“One of the reasons I liked this book was the beautiful lyrical language. It was like reading a classical French novel. The story was well written and very erotic. There was danger, suspense, Pirates..."
"The cast of characters were well described as they come from different parts of the world and the dialog uses Eastern terms but are also translated making the story flow."
"The dialog is raw, edgy and emotional, swirling with pain, redemption and acceptance. This has been an amazing journey of Létice’s life..."
