On Solstice eve long ago, a Druid priestess and Norse warrior succumb to forbidden, erotic desire. Their passion is one that neither death, decree - nor time - can tear asunder.

Now three women of later centuries begin their own sensual journeys, awakened by the ancient power of the priestess's words - "Burn bright of winter's desire."

'SABELINE'

experiences surprisingly unbridled nights with her betrothed's best friend in a lusty medieval tale..

'SINEAD'

her body yearns for her husband, killed in the Crimean War - and for the officer who broke the tragic news..

'AISLING'

writes risqué stories under a secret pen name, but her real-life love life is a bore - until she makes a wish for her winter's desire that works only too well.
