Conquering the Countess: A BDSM Historical Romance (Cavern of Pleasures Book 2)

by Em Brown

Can a notorious rake seduce the ice mistress?

Advisory: This erotic historical romance contains light BDSM elements and submissive training. If you like your heat “wickedly hot” with bad boy rakes, then dare to enter the Cavern of Pleasures…

Married to the unfaithful Earl of Lowry and scorned by her in-laws for not producing an heir for the earldom, Gertrude "Gertie" Farrington takes out her frustrations in the masked underground world of Madame Botreaux's Cavern of Pleasures. Concealing her identity there as 'Lady Athena,' Gertie is a domineering mistress with a peculiar propensity: she never allows a submissive to bring her to climax.

Back from years of exile after a scandalous duel, Lord Phineas Barclay, a notorious rake and seducer of women, becomes instantly intrigued by the Lady Athena on a visit to the Cavern of Pleasures. He poses as a submissive with the intention of seducing the icy mistress and uncovering her true identity.

As the Countess of Lowry, Gertie wants nothing to do with Phineas Barclay - a debaucher at best, and a murderer at worst. So why does she find herself hot and flustered in his presence?

Phineas Barclay finds himself strangely drawn to the Countess, but every step forward with her seems to be followed by a step backward with the Lady Athena. Which woman will he choose to focus his seduction upon - or is it possible to conquer both Lady Athena and the Countess?

Recommended but not required prequel: "Lord Barclay's Seduction."

anguish of the 1916 Easter Rising and beyond, as Ireland chafes under the choke-hold of British domination. Deftly paced with vividly drawn characters, The Irish Tempest embraces historical elements while preserving the essence of evocative storytelling.

The Guardian

by Pamela Ann

A Standalone Romance.

When one is denied of something for so long...sometimes the best way to acquire it is through drastic measures...

An heiress and a man set to take over her father's company.
Arranged marriage with two stubborn and equally vindictive characters.
Stifling sexual tension. A push-and-pull maddening, combustible chemistry.
A war of words-of love-thrusting them to the brink of insanity.

Like oil mixing with water, one cannot drown the other. In the end, no one ever wins.

There's a delicate line between obsession and desperation. And Gisele has been lodged in that sweet purgatory for as long as she can remember.

Tech billionaire Jared St. James is a renowned whiz in his field. By the age of nineteen, he's been reveled all over the world and already working at one of Silicon Valley's top companies, working and thriving under the guidance of his mentor, Peter Weber--Gisele's father. Jared works incessant hours and doesn't have the time to be in a relationship. The relationships he's had, well, they lingered on, the women hoping he'd commit to them. But eventually, he moved on to his next trophy girlfriend. Gisele Weber fits the bill, but Jared scarcely pays any attention to her.

While girls her age lost their virginity before they reached eighteen, Gisele wholeheartedly reserved hers, plotting the perfect moment to give it away to Jared St. James. So, she waited until she was of legal age, hoping that he'd see her in a different light, not as the besotted little girl who used to follow him around. She is insanely beautiful, witty, and vivaciously full of life, and the only thing she wishes for is one night in his arms.

But the moment she secures his attention, it is all for the wrong reasons. Gisele finds herself in a revolving wheel of madness, chasing for a man who doesn't want to be caught.

They do say be careful for what you wish for...

Surviving The Evacuation, Book 1: London

by Frank Tayell

 

Would you survive the evacuation?


The outbreak began in New York. Soon it had spread to the rest of the world. People were attacked, infected and they died. Then they came back. Nowhere is safe from the undead.

As anarchy and civil war took grip across the globe, Britain was quarantined. The press was nationalised. Martial law, curfews and rationing were implemented. It wasn’t enough. An evacuation was planned. The inland towns and cities of the UK would be evacuated to defensive enclaves being built around the coast, in the Scottish Highlands and in the Irish Republic.

Bill Wright broke his leg on the day of the outbreak. Unable to join the evacuation, he watched from his window as the streets filled with refugees, he watched as the streets emptied once more. He watched as they filled up again, this time with the undead.

He is trapped. He is alone. He is running out of food and water. He knows that to reach safety he will have to venture out into the wasteland that once was England. On that journey he will ultimately discover the horrific truth about the outbreak, a decades old conspiracy and his unwitting part in it.

The first novel in the post-apocalyptic series “Surviving The Evacuation”. (74,000 words)
