He was too surprised to draw back and when he tried, she had already placed her unexpectedly strong arms around his neck and he lacked the strength to pry them away. In fact, he felt strangely helpless, like it was someone else who acted instead of him, as he kissed her back. His hands involuntarily reached her waist and pulled her closer.” - From the short story “View of a cemetery” “This, this is not really happening, is it?” Agnes whispered, breathless as Catherine started to undo her corset. “No, of course it is not,” Catherine agreed, suppressing a small moan of delight as she pulled down the upper part of the linen undergarment and very attentively and experimentally kissed Agnes’ soft round breasts. - From the short story “Wildflowers” “No, no, none of that…” he said teasingly, but reluctantly, as he moved her hands away. “Not yet,” he added and smiled roguish at her disappointed sigh. I stayed petrified in front of the window as the scene continued before me. I felt feverish and out of breath myself, wishing with all my heart that someone would make love to me like that, but also keenly aware of that I was watching something entirely private and that it was both wicked and wrong of me to stay and look. - From the short story “Booklover” Product details: #9 on the Top 10 list of Victorian Erotica Romance (Amazon US) #86 on the Top 100 list of Erotica Fiction (Amazon UK) Category: Victorian Romance and Erotica Format: Kindle eBook Written and published: 2011 Length: ~ 20800 words (each story is short and sweet ~2500 words) Proofread by Nicolas Ambrose Publisher: My Secret Quill About the author: Lady T.

An unparalleled and a wholly satisfying reading experience, "The Romance of Lust" is a classic Victorian erotic novel not to be missed by fans and collectors of the genre.

The Loves of Lord Roxboro


Book Description

When lovely young orphans Caroline and Freda arrive to the mansion belonging to their new ward, the wonderfully depraved Lord Roxboro, they don't know what to expect. They enter a world of orgiastic pleasures, where the maids and stablemen join the sexual activities. Before internet porn, before porn videos, before porn movies, people lusting for raunchy, X-rated entertainment read pornographic books and magazines. Victorian and Edwardian England had its own adult entertainment industry - countless erotic novels were put out by shady publishers, some books were printed by the authors themselves, and most of the writers were anonymous. Many of these 19th century books are surprisingly kinky, and some of them may be quite offensive to modern day readers - in more ways than one. Sir Walter Bone is a pseudonym, the author of this massive epos, first published in 1898, is unknown. This tome contains all six volumes of "The Loves of Lord Roxboro." This is raunchy, decadent Victorian erotica at its best.




Dishonorable


Book Description

Sofia I didn’t know Raphael Amado when he turned up on our doorstep demanding restitution for an old debt. My grandfather knew him well, though, and he quickly conceded. That restitution? Me. Six months later, on my eighteenth birthday, Raphael came to claim me. He stole me from my home, taking me to his Tuscan estate, where from the crumbling chapel to the destroyed vineyard to that dark cellar, the past stalked him like a shadow. Even the walls held secrets here and I’d need to uncover them all to survive. Because taking me was only the beginning of his plan. Raphael Sofia was the sacrifice to pay for her grandfather’s sins. She accused me of being the devil. And she’s right. But the truth was, he betrayed her. And when the time came to promise to love, cherish, and obey she spoke the words that would seal her fate. I do. We have a common enemy, though, my unwilling bride and I. But even the devil protects what’s his. And she’s mine. She just doesn’t yet know how much protecting she needs.

Every year on her birthday, Suda Kaye opens another of the letters her mother penned before she passed, heeding the advice inside as she fills her life with experiences. From Italy to Australia, from Rio to Russia, she’s slaked her wanderlust. And then, on her twenty-eighth birthday, she opens the letter that sends her home. Returning to Colorado means confronting everything — and everyone — she left behind, including her cherished sister, Evie, and her first love, Camden Bryant. Suda Kaye and Cam spent four years and one unforgettable night together. Given the way she ran out on him, it’s no surprise that he’s wary, resentful…and engaged to someone else.

For Evie’s sake, and her own, Suda Kaye is trying to build a new life, all the while wondering whether it’s too late to come back home — or if the most important part of her never really left.
