Cleopatra's Perfume

Résumé

Europe 1939. The world may be teetering on the brink of war, but that's no reason for the privileged classes to deny themselves the satisfaction of their deepest lusts. In exotic and exclusive clubs, they pursue the delights of the flesh with little thought to the world crumbling around them. Eve Marlowe has everything she needs to lead the most decadent of lives : money, nobility, nerve.....and an insatiable appetite for sexual adventure. She also has a singular treasure : a fragrance of ancient origin said to have been prepared for the Queen of Kings herself. Seductive, irresistible, even mysticalit is the scent of pure sensuality. The power of this elixir is such that it sweeps Lady Marlowe into a game much more dangerous than those she played in the darkened rooms of kinky bars. As the Nazis devour Europe and North Africa, she embarks on a fevered journey, with sizzling stops in Cairo, London, Berlineach city filled with new perils and pleasures for one anointed with pure lust.
