**2005 PEARL NOMINEE - BEST EROTIC ROMANCE** The dragon: the Chinese symbol of maleness, virility,
power. The tiger: femininity, fortune, desire. Two symbols. Two people. One all-consuming passion. Englishwoman Lydia Smith sailed to the Orient seeking her
fiance. She found treachery instead. In seedy Shanghai, she
was drugged, sold, and made a slave to a dark-eyed dragon
of
a man. But while her captor purchased her body, was that
what he truly sought? He demanded not her virginity but her
'yin' - the essence of her ecstasy - and there seemed no
choice but to consent. What harm, Lydia wondered, was there
in allowing him to pleasure her, to 'teach' her, until she
could flee? It was the danger - and the reward - of taking the frst
step
on a journey to heaven, and her feet were already on the
path to becoming a radiant and joyous... WHITE TIGRESS
