Bestselling erotica author M. S. Valentine (aka Mitzi Szereto) returns with the release of "The Martinet."

After an absense of nearly four years, internationally known erotic fiction novelist M. S. Valentine has returned to the bookshelves with an all-new tale of erotic intrigue. "The Martinet" is available both in print and e-book formats.

"The Martinet" is the story of those who by some act of folly become enslaved as a form of punishment by the masked figure known only as The Martinet. In a Moorish castle in 17th Century Spain, these young men and women discover that class and privilege are insignificant. Whether prince or the daughter of nobility, they have no more power than a lowly stable hand as they serve in every sexual capacity demanded of them by The Martinets aristocratic guests.

For slaves who arrive from a life of domestic service, The Castle will be a place where they learn to know what it is to dominate another...whereas their enslaved betters will be given much cause to lament the actions that prompted their dispatch to The Martinet. Whatever the case, there are many lessons to be learned at The Castle. Yet perhaps the most important will be learned by The Martinet, who finds himself captivated by the beautiful daughter of an earl who has become the most popular female slave at The Castle.

M. S. Valentine is the author of the popular erotica titles "Elysian Days and Nights," "The Captivity of Celia," "The Governess," and "The Possession of Celia." Writing as Mitzi Szereto, she is author of "Erotic Fairy Tales, A Romp Through the Classics," the novella "highway," and editor of the "Erotic Travel Tales" antholologies. A transplanted Californian, she is the pioneer of the erotic writing workshop in the UK. She has become a regular fixture on the interview circuit, having been interviewed for a television documentary as well as appearing in print and on BBC Radio.
