The Comet's Tail — Sharon Maria Bidwell

Markis Shavar, the Swithin Prince, has everything he ever thought he could want. He has Uly Samir - his true love - and he has found happiness again in the arms of Ryanac, his personal guard and best friend. He has Tressa, a woman any man would be proud to have as bride. He's also gained some control over the powerful comet. He should be happy. Uly has the heart of a wonderful man. Markis loves him. He has much to look forward to and more than he ever dreamed of obtaining. He should be in high spirits. Ryanac has succeeded in convincing Markis to embrace love and, as he always believed, it has freed him from abject misery. It has also rekindled their relationship. He should be contented. Tressa has a good man for a husband, three men to see to her considerable sexual needs and she has escaped the backward views of her own nation. She should be elated. The four of them have a tedious two-week journey to undertake. What else should they fill these boring nights with but passion? They should be ecstatic. if a little exhausted. Too bad their sleeping arrangements aren't their worst problem.
