From the author of the USA Today bestselling Priest and New Camelot
series comes a high-heat, gothic, dark academia fairy tale full of
lantern-lit rituals, foggy moors, and obsessions that last for a
lifetime.
Twelve years ago, she left Thornchapel--and the two boys she gave her
heart to--behind.
Now, Proserpina Markham has returned, hopeful...and wary. Because it's
so very easy to be drawn back into the world of the seductive and
elegant Auden Guest...and into the world of his worst enemy, St.
Sebastian Martinez. The beautiful and brooding St. Sebastian is as
irresistible as he ever was, and Auden is just as handsome and
arrogant, and the three of them can't seem to unknot themselves from
each other.
From the hasty promise they three made all those years ago.
As Thornchapel slowly tightens its coil of truths and lies around them,
the reluctant threesome starts unravelling into filthy, holy pleasure
and pain. Together, they've awakened a centuries-old fate that will
either bloom like a rose...or destroy them all.
The erotic tales presented reflect the incredible variety of sexual
inclinations and uninhibited, unrestrained bodily lust. The
geographic setting changes in each story. The protagonists include
writers, sculptors, vacationers, ladies of the day and night. The
love scenes and stories leave nothing to be desired. Lively action
flows from London to New York, Tennessee, Montreal, Ibiza and
Mallorca. The encounters include hetero, homo, bi-sexual, lesbian,
and diagonal relationships. The tales deal, among other things,
with the seduction of a convent girl by a rich older lady; with the
fascination of a female professor and her husband for what is
locally called a hillbilly; with the falling in love of two couples
with each other; with the formation of threesomes and foursomes;
with a successful wife swapping attempt; and other stories. The
characters depicted engage in all kinds of passionate behavior to
satisfy their sexual needs and desires; and be they not so strange.
I wonder if Janie will come. It was Parker Thomas's first thought
as he prepared to head back to his alma mater for a twenty-two-year
college reunion. Parker was forty-four, but he could still remember
his days half a lifetime ago as a party boy in upstate New York. He
could also remember Janie-the one that got away. Parker didn't have
much to complain about; he was a successful businessman-but
sometimes, he felt lonely. Janie Farwell had similar thoughts. She,
too, had found success in the business world, so why did her life
still feel empty? Why did she so often reminisce about the past and
about a handsome boy named Parker? Of course he would be at the
reunion, she told herself. She had to believe it. She wanted to see
him again; she only wondered what might happen when she did. Would
she feel the same way about him, twenty-two years later? The night
draws nearer, until finally, Parker and Janie meet face-to-face. As
their fellow graduates catch up on careers, families, and old
friendships, Parker and Janie can only see each other. But can love
weather the years? Does a spark survive a twenty-two-year gap, or
will college grudges and youthful indiscretions come back to haunt
them? Only the night of the reunion can tell, and what happens may
chance both of their lives forever.
After the intervention of an Olympian goddess, a male chauvinist
wakes next morning a beautiful woman. An initial panic is followed
by the need to face what he once regarded the great taboos or
burdens of womanhood: makeup, hormonal swings, period pain, hair
salons, dancing backward in high heels, makeup, waxing, sex from a
new perspective, birth control, and more. The compensations are
discovery of the importance of shoes, suddenly being found
attractive rather than ordinary and what? After each challenge she
faces, Mika's body gradually takes control, and she becomes more
feminine. Unfortunately, a part of her previous male self remains
in her head, complaining about every female activity he has to
endure. She finds memories of life as a red-blooded womaniser are
sometimes a weak defence against the type of man she once was. Can
she cope with what all other women seem to take in their stride?
