Read Synopsis 

In a corrupt and fantastical land known as Myuri, where the less fortunate women are marketed as prostitutes and the fortunate are the ever-coquetting courtesans and political pawns of the capital, the ambitious upstart Queen Kylani of the city Cavia ascends the throne and sets into motion a violent civil war, thriving on the battlefield and yet ultimately failing at the great and tumultuous games of courtly love. Unable to win the heart of the lusty young earl, Warren, an envy-driven Kylani breaks his troth with former friend and court-rival, Aranea, and subsequently offers him a place as her husband the King of Cavia-- susceptible to change to the whole of Myuri should the war conclude in their favor. Warren at once finds himself torn between passionate love for Aranea and heated lust for power; but when alas convinced to wed Kylani, an Aranea impregnated with his child threatens to shatter the power-bent destiny he has shaped for himself.

Despite the civil war’s causing much destruction and separation, it brings together at the capital the ill-fated team of youths, Reina, Eric, Merci, and Justinian. After a brief audience, the King David is enamored of and seeks to wife the seventeen-year-old Reina, enthusiastic about their betrothal until meeting and falling passionately in love with the roguish and promiscuous war hero, Eric. Unable to let him go, Reina attempts to elope with him, fleeing from the palace and accompanying him on a dangerous quest to find the fabled Mountain Ascendon with two other courtiers, Justinian and Merci. But tensions rise when Eric takes up the beautiful and exiled Princess Nene as his whore, fearing his own all-consuming passion for Reina as dramatically the lines between his sense of love and lust thin. The saga reaches its boiling point at last when envy and the erotic desire of a witch transform the relationship between Justinian and Merci to a race against time.

Set in a backdrop of war, adventure, politics, and magic, Myuri is tales of love and lust, sex and seduction, and conspiracies and passionate rivalries colliding and interweaving to form an archetypal and beguiling romance novel.

Historical&RomanceRead Synopsis 

The youngest daughter of a diplomat and duke’s sister, Anne Boleyn was born to attend and perhaps attract some attention at  England’s royal court — but not to ever rise so high as she did. Awkward and unwanted in her earliest years, both Anne and in many ways her own destiny, fate, were transformed and shaped for greatness in France under a charming and seductive king, two very different queens, and a radical duchess. With her acquired dark French style and allure, wit, spirit, intelligence, and profound knowledge of the sexes, Boleyn returns to England a lady in every way ready for stardom.  

A temptation to every man at Henry VIII’s glittering court, by 1526, after setting aside a romance with her sister, she becomes to the king more than a temptation — but a challenge, heated and passionate.

After having mistress after mistress throughout the course of his unhappy marriage to the quickly-aging Catherine of Aragon, Henry Tudor alas meets his match and more in the seductive and intriguing Anne Boleyn. However, unlike the rest of them, she refuses to heed her body to him, forcing Henry to fall in love with her heart and mind, to fight to marry her, before enjoying such intimacies; she will be his Queen or Nothing.

But as their romance comes to wind down, experienced hunter he is, Henry comes to realize that the chase is far more thrilling than the catch, and in the midst of desire and deceit, the kill creeps closer each day.

Queen or Nothing tells the captivating tale of a girl’s sexual awakening, a man’s all-fickle-lust, and the fatal price of ambition and untamable passion.

Urban Regency&Romance
(A Modern London Court Trilogy, Book 1)

Read Synopsis

More than a year short of graduation from the exclusive but highly corrupt all-girls London court preparation academy, Darkbloom, Mercedes Amthest is summoned home after her wealthy and ambitious father drags down the family and its fortunes with his gambling issues. But waiting for her is an alchemy of good and bad news: the good news being that she has been admitted to the rich private London court for royalty, noblemen, and the wealthiest in the country, and the bad news being that, sexually, politically, naive, she is to be hurled into a vicious and man-eating new world ruled by harsh law which is the mold for a shallow and cruel society, that, at sixteen, she cannot even begin to fathom.

But Mercedes proves to be a quick learner, befriending and beguiling the court’s most powerful men, though earning enmity and envy from its women, and scandalous slander from their tongues. Quickly she enchants and is seduced by England’s powerful young Earl Marshal, the court’s Adonis who rivals the king in wealth and handsomeness, helps her family through its financial and social struggles, and earns quickly her affections despite their age difference and his wife, an aging countess stationed in the countryside. She lets the duke to take her as his mistress although such must be done privately when Mercedes captures the attentions of its young and philandering king, for despite the duke’s valiant efforts to restore her family, all that could lift the Amthests from their disgrace is the favor of England’s king. But through lies, lust, and manipulation, Mercedes finds herself quickly falling for the man as oppose to the crown, and when either men, both powerful, wealthy, and unhappily married, propose marriage, a single decision on her behalf should require a gamble of stakes higher than even her ever-gambling father so much as dared to chance.

Setting perfectly the stage for novels of the trilogy to come, The First Seduction is urban regency at its finest packed with romance, flirtation, passion and political schemes, toned with careful and dark sex, gossip, scandal, and drama.
