Wildwoman

Seductively funny with a daring twist on regal history, Wildwoman follows Catherine de Medici, the young newlywed of King Henry II of France.

Enemies are everywhere, but Catherine finds kinship with the paperback-romance hot, head-to-toe hair wildman kept in the dungeons as one of the king’s collection of caged oddities. He awakens Catherine’s own wild side, and then no one is save from her vengeful wrath.
