The Widow and The Eunuch
by Robin Schone

"[Probably] the first 53-year-old eunuch to be a romantic hero." -Publisher's Weekly

I am a eunuch.
They cut off my stones.
They stole my seed.
I do not know what either men or women are entitled to.
All I know is what I want...
I want to know that I am a man.

From USA Today Bestselling Author Robin Schone comes Muhamed's story from The Lady's Tutor, a cross-genre erotic historical novel that has been translated into 12 languages. THE WIDOW AND THE EUNUCH is a profoundly moving exploration of what makes a 53-year-old eunuch "a man" and a barren 48-year-old widow "a woman," and reaffirms that love truly makes us more than the labels with which society brands us.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: THE WIDOW AND THE EUNUCH was originally published in the anthology Fascinated under the title "A Man and A Woman." This is a passionate, intense story about castration and it's life-long effects on a man's sexuality. It's raw and erotic and painful, but also cathartic and healing.

Robin Schone's Bio

Hey! Some of you know me, but for those who don't, let me introduce myself. I love British Victorian history. In what other era can an author include dinosaurs in a romance novel ... and remain true to the times? The Crystal Palace c1854-1936 had a wonderful exhibit of life-sized, sculpted dinosaurs and other exotic exhibits. Think of the Chicago Field Museum and Six Flags of Great America all rolled into one. And while people in other eras indulged in hot sexual exploits--at least, through literature, art and music---the Victorian era left behind the largest collection of erotica of any other time. You know, classics like The Pearl and The Boudoir, all of which are still in print. In addition to loving paleontology and cool technology, our ancestors heroically fought to advance women's rights---not just to 'vote'---but to gain legal representation so that fathers/husbands/sons couldn't abuse them or lock them up in insane asylums simply because they were women. Warning: my books are driven by real-life history. Patriarchal laws affected women's daily lives, just as they do now. Oh, and my lovers explore the many facets of intimacy through explicit, erotic sex, just like our great-great-great-great-great grandparents did. So ... History. Dinosaurs. Sex. Law. The Victorians are my kind of people! I hope to make you, too a fan of this underrated and often misrepresented era. Please visit my website at www.robinschone.today to learn more about my books.
