Catt Ford

The Last Concubine Catt Ford New edition

When Princess Lan?xiu?s brother delivers her under duress into General Hüi Wei?s harem as a political offering, her only question is how soon her secret will be discovered. She is under no illusions: when the general discovers she is actually a he, death is his only future?though he doesn?t plan to make it easy. Lan?xiu has dressed as a woman all his life, but he is no damsel in distress. He can swing a sword with the best of them.

General Hüi Wei has everything a man could want: power, wealth, success on the battlefield, and a harem of concubines. At first, he regards Lan?xiu with suspicion, but he finds himself strangely drawn to her. When he discovers the beautiful young woman is actually a man, his first reaction is to draw his sword. Rather than waste such beauty, he decides to enjoy the spirited Lan?xiu?s submission?and ignites a passion and desire deeper than anything he?s felt with other wives. But court intrigue, political ambitions, and the general's doubts may be too much for their love to overcome.
