Eris Adderly

Catch me, Darkness. Again and again. The life of a virgin goddess might suit Artemis or Athena, but Persephone, daughter of Zeus, wants no part of it. While the rest of the immortals cavort, she grows restless in the shadow of Olympos. Rules, rules. Always the rules. Her mother's edict forbids her the company of any male god. She can't speak to them, can't look at them. Can't even attend the Olympian feasts. As far as Demeter knows, her daughter remains a maiden. But Persephone leads a double life. She finds her affection elsewhere, and in plentiful supply. If only the sons of Man made her happy. If only she could put a name to this need she feels. It grows by the day, dark and unfulfilled. An eternity of enforced loneliness looms, and Persephone contemplates a drastic choice to escape it. Only one thing stands in her way. Hades. Where earthquakes rend hill and vale asunder, and the abyss yawns to devour falling screams, the black halls of the Underworld await. The Lord of the Dead follows only one set of rules: his own. And he expects Persephone to obey. Eris Adderly draws you into a spectacular world of dark mythology, where legends bloom with sensual new life and the stories you thought you knew turn out to be just the beginning. This scorching hot romance takes the reader on a journey of discovery and submission, including graphic descriptions of sexual acts, and is intended for mature readers only.

A Wrong-Way Romance

Bass-Ackwards

Lust and discovery, betrayal and secrets in the age of sail.Oh yes, and pirates. Dirty, dirty pirates. Travel back to the Golden Age of Piracy where bodices were ripped, timbers were shivered, and we all pretend, for the sake of naughty books, that hygiene was a great deal better than it was. A new life beckons to Hannah Collingwood from the Colonies: an opportunity to leave behind the house she shared with her late husband and trade every other dismal, tired thing she knows for some measure of discovery, excitement. As soon as The Mourning Dove sails from Bristol with Hannah on it, her life can begin again. Edmund Blackburn, notorious captain of The Devil's Luck, and his quartermaster Benjamin Till share everything. Responsibilities. Coin. A smirking contempt for the rule of law. An unexpected lady passenger aboard their ship proves no exception. Now Hannah faces a new reality: a ship full of Very Bad Men. The sort who do Very Bad Things and expect to get away with it. She doesn't know what's more terrifying: the scandalous demands they make, or the way she begins to counter their knavery with advances of her own. And the secrets. The ugly, horrible secrets. Blackburn and Till have no idea who they're dealing with, and what the dark consequences might be for all three of them. Eris Adderly transports you onto the decks of The Devil's Luck and into a dark, world of scoundrels and forbidden desires. Leave your inhibitions ashore: a bounty of pleasure awaits! Note: this story contains scenes of explicit sexual material, including MFM menage, and is intended for mature readers only. Parental Discretion is Advised

Bite Me

Medousa is Vengeance. Medousa is the Bane of Men. Marble statues appear on the streets where the gorgon hunts down men who would prey on women. If the sons of man will not yield respect, Medousa will teach them to fear. Perseus is the Destroyer. Perseus is the Golden Son. The mercenary son of Zeus seeks no help from his absent sire. He would make his own reputation, without kneeling to beg favor from Olympos. When a tyrant king demands Perseus bring back the head of the gorgon Medousa, the price of failure becomes more than his reputation. More than he can ever hope to bear. Medousa is a daughter of the old gods, fast and sleek and terrible. Against such strength and cunning, what hope could the warrior have? What weapon could strike out faster than the curse of the stone, should Perseus meet her eye? His arrogance appalls her. How dare this son of Olympos set foot on the gorgon's island? Another hero, come to collect a trophy? Medousa would pitch his stone carcass over the edge of a cliff. But would he learn anything? No. The Bane of Men would have him cower and tremble. She would have him crawl and beg. Medousa will seal this hero's fate. But first ... she will break him. The Mortal Coil is a viper's nest of cruelty, vengeance, and redemption. Mortals avoid the island of the gorgones--like this dark tale, it is no place for the faint of heart. Step foot ashore, but beware: danger lives here. And she does not like trespassers.

Medousa and Perseus

The Mortal Coil

Love isn't just for the pretty people. Cutthroats and thieves ply their nefarious trade aboard The Devil's Luck, slashing a path of piracy and swearing back and forth across the Atlantic. On a ship packed hull to hull with scoundrels, romance blossoms about as often as dead men tell tales. Brigit O'Creagh knows her place. A complexion riddled with scars wards off desirable men. An eager father hires her out as a lady's maid for a purse full of silver-without consulting her, of course. Her new widow employer makes icebergs look downright tropical. The maid from Cork expects very little from life, and that's usually just what she gets. John Bone spends his days working to feed the ravenous crew of The Devil's Luck. An accident seven years past cost him part of a leg but earned him a promotion to Cook. His memories of brawling and boarding collect dust right along with his days of pining for gentler company. And what woman would want him now? He wasn't even a whole man. But now, with a young woman's easy laugh filling his galley, John finds dormant desires waking up, tempting him to make a fool of himself. Brigit, however, struggles to believe the sincerity behind his pretty words and kind gestures. She knows what she looks like and men never bother wasting that sort of talk on the likes of her. Most grand romances overflow with silken skin and chiseled jawlines, but Eris Adderly takes you below decks to mingle with a rougher crowd. Bawdy songs color the air, dangerous wagers change hands, and love may not be totally blind, but it definitely wears an eye patch. This lusty pirate romance novella is a spin-off from the events of The Devil's Luck. But fear not! The Maid and The Cook stands on its own-you can enjoy all the salt and scallywags without feeling like you're missing part of the plot. Note: This story contains dirty pirates, peg legs, and explicit descriptions of sexual acts. It is intended for mature readers only. Parental Discretion is Advised

The Maid and The Cook

He was expendable. He was a sacrifice. He was the emperor. Raothan Ga'ardahn wants to take his own life. Twelve years in exile have a way of beating a man down, and the shameful secrets of his past, no matter how far buried, weigh enough to keep him that way. The last thing standing between him and oblivion is a sign from the gods. That, and a unit of Imperial Guard trooping onto his farm one late summer's afternoon. Across the continent, the Taunai heed the warnings of their dead: act to correct an unforeseen fracture in the Pattern of events, or face annihilation. Niquel, their bravest Questioner, accepts the challenge to descend into the dangerous lowlander capital for the good of her people. A journey alone away from her snowy mountain home awaits. Any worry about the strange man in her dreams will have to come later. When the paths of the two outsiders cross on the steps of the imperial palace at Protreo, the fate of the empire shifts. One the Novamneans call 'exile', the other they call 'witch'. Neither will ever be the same. Eris Adderly transports you to a complex world of ancient empires, impossible alliances, politics, and mystery. Fate and free will do a murderous dance across the page, and suspicious second chances forge enemies and lovers at every turn. Note: After Exile is a dark romantic fantasy where the action does not fade to black. An Emperor for the Eclipse contains explicit descriptions of sexual acts, including both M/F and F/F couples, light BDSM, and more. For mature readers only.
