Erotic Historical Anthology

With three short but fulfilling novellas, Mutual Desire shows that passion can indeed result from relationships founded upon deception, disappointment or disaster.

SpellBound

Highlands of Scotland, Winter 1592

Kate doesn’t want to marry Laird Ewan MacDonald but she doesn’t have a choice.  Her father sold her off to the Highland lord without a dash of hesitation.  Kate has never defied her father, not even when he married her to her previous husbands who died shortly after marriage.

Ewan MacDonald is the head of the MacDonald Clan is and looking for a wife.  When he meets Kate, he knows that she doesn’t want to remain his wife so he makes a proposition she can’t refuse. A great story with a somewhat predictable ending. 

Enthralled

Aldvale Kingdom, Azure Province, the Past

To repay an old debt to her king, Linarra is sent to the Kellian jungle to spy on its king, Falcor.  Under the guise of becoming Falcor’s mistress, Linarra’s objective is to spy on him and gain his total trust.  If she fails, her sister’s life will be in jeopardy.

Falcor is suspicious when he is told that a peace gift has been sent to him from the king of Aldvale.  However, he is completely unprepared for the beautiful woman who comes to his jungle.  Nothing good can possibly come of their union, or can it? I love the lush scenery and sexuality of Enthralled.  

Enchanted

Amazon Jungle, April 1864

Arian de Busso, the princess of Tulso, wants to have an adventure before she marries.  She travels to the beautiful but remote Amazon to explore the exotic rainforest.  Her exploration is interrupted when her party is attacked and she is kidnapped.

After four years, Jensen D’Argent finally calls the Amazon his home.  He has become a member of the Yanomami tribe and has his pick of available women.  However, his heart has been captured by someone he met years ago, Princeess Arian.  Imagine his surprise when his tribe presents the princess to him to claim as his very own.  Enchanted is a wonderful story filled with a few definitely hot scenes.  

Readers looking for variety and sensuality should definitely read MUTUAL DESIRE.  Each story has a little something different to offer and is sure to satisfy.  There is a common thread relating each of the heroines, they all are intelligent women who know exactly what they want and how to get it!
