Released in Fall 2011 by Pink Flamingo Publications http://www.pinkflamingo.com/brands/Olivia-Ravensworth.html , *The Island of Marquis Gallance* tells a tale of the early 18th century, when a shipwrecked merchant captain and his crew find themselves washed up upon the shores of a secretive, uncharted island ruled by the suave, faintly mysterious Marquis Gallance. To the astonishment of the sailors, Gallance offers the castaways not simply a banquet of sumptuous food and drink but also more intimate hospitality such as can be given only by the supple white flesh of a calmly smirking young lady with the face of an angel but the appetites of the most depraved courtesan. The genial Marquis, they learn, maintains an enormous retinue of sexual slaves, both male and female, who at the slightest whim of their master--or his honored guests--can be subjected to various situations of subjugation, bondage, and degradation. Despite his descent into the sticky web of hedonism, however, what the honest Captain really wants to know is *What is behind it all*? Why can he never extract from the smilingly elusive Marquis exactly where he and his men are, why, and for how long? In addition, through it all, the smitten commander searches desperately for the sly-eyed, almost mockingly self-composed maiden within and upon whose pale, serene young flesh the two-dozen-odd seamen satisfied their lusts at the close of their welcoming banquet. Surely, the Captain tells himself vaguely, this sable-tressed beauty must hold some clue to the strange mystery of the island of Marquis Gallance...
