A Choice Of Masters by Joey W. Hill
Thomas has led his life according to the tenets of chivalry laid out by King Arthur. Now his deepest desires and his unshakable honor have joined in single purpose. His soulmate, Lilith, whom he has met only in dreams, is bespelled by a wizard. For five years she has been forced to exist as Lord Zorac's prisoner in a state of high arousal. She is not allowed to achieve fulfillment, or given any ease from the relentless lust in her body, a sword edge that has pushed her to the brink of madness.
To free her from her torment, Thomas must perform the sensual ritual of awakening upon her, and convince her to accept his word and hand as that of her true Master. He must also convince the powerful Zorac to let her go. But all is not as it seems. Lilith's punishment is more than the capricious act of an evil wizard. Zorac's generosity and kindness to the people of his own lands are legendary. So why has he chosen to inflict this cruel fate on a young woman renown for her beauty? Thomas will have to reveal all their secrets, including his own, to tip the scales on the unexpected, and bring Lilith to her fateful choice.
