Does my shame delight you, Master? Our fair listener, a successful merchant in a local trade guild, is asked one day to collect the debt of a visiting trader from the south. Rumours have spread through the township of this strange young woman’s crimes: war profiteering, theft of silver… And yet she seems to hide a secret of a very different sort. Against all odds, the girl finds her debtor’s contract taken on by the very man who has been sent to bring her to justice! Before the day is out, he will learn the true tale of this mysterious and beautiful merchant girl’s life, of her fall from grace… And he will find a far lewder and more sensuous means for repayment of her debt than she ever feared. And yet, where there is lust, there is sometimes love as well.
