All bets are off when Nick's lost wagers render Kate the only ante. Does her act of redemption make her a heroine or a whore? "A Twist of Kate" presents two contemporary lovers, for whom sexuality evolves candidly, juxtaposed against a villainous Duke that patiently maneuvers his way between them to feed his insatiable passion for sexual degradation. Can their boundless innocent intimacy, forged from the day they met as children, withstand their depraved turning point intact? Their story is expressed in erotic narrative and dialogue that arouses the reader's imagination yet harbors a literary purpose.
