Through the Taoist method, her friend Joanna Crane had reached Heaven on Earth, become a Tigress, found true bliss. Why should Charlotte be denied the same? She'd seen the scrolls. All she needed was guidance. Her mother would call her wanton. Wicked. She would label Charlotte's curiosity evil, and invoke divine judgment. Certainly the teacher Charlotte desired was fearsome. Glimpses of his body inspired awe: flutters in the stomach and tingling in her core. And with the dark command she saw in his eyes, if she opened this door it might never be closed. The man had a reputation among the females of the city as a ruthless seducer…but also as a bringer of great pleasure. There was only one choice to make. RR@H's Novel Thoughts

His fingers, his lips…his dragon. He swears he and Shi Po will attain Heaven even if he has to pleasure her every day—and night—for the rest of their lives.

A Shaolin master who was not what he seemed. He had no wish to harm the meddling American, so, when she learned his secret, Joanna's captor determined to stash her at a Taoist temple. True, the sect was persecuted throughout the land, but he saw no harm in seeking divinity through love. And the cult's mistress was a great Tigress, Shi Po. What he did not see was that he and Joanna were already students, their hearts were on the path to Heaven, and salvation lay in a kiss, a touch, and sating the...Hungry Tigress.
