Set in a world where the old Roman laws permitting enslavement for debt were never repealed, By Judicial Decree follows the fate of two women who have been enslaved by court order, and have fallen into the hands of a cruel, demanding owner. Elenora Riley, a beautiful, innocent eighteen year-old, and Olivia Addison, an equally lovely twenty-something arrogant aristocrat, are purchased by slave agent Quentin Scales for the wealthy, sadistic Rupert Caine. Caine bends both of them to his will, using a variety of harsh training methods. This is a new edition of By Judicial Decree, which restores much of what was edited out of the version currently sold by Strict Publications, and was otherwise extensively re-written by the author.
