Punished for the Pharoah's Pleasure by Demelza Hart It is a stiflingly hot night in ancient Thebes. Beautiful temple servant, Mayamenti, is caught out of her chamber by the stunning High Priest, Amunnakht. For many long days she has stood in the temple, watching him silently and lusting secretly. Now he drags her before the Pharaoh for chastisement, and Mayamenti finds she craves her punishment. The pleasure and pain it brings her lead to a night of intense erotic fulfilment, and more. The Invader by Jayne Wheatley A young Scottish woman watches invaders approach, and joins with the ranks of the men to ward off the marauding Viking warriors.

Will she find satisfaction in the heat of battle? A Cure for the Immoral Young Lady by Emma Lydia Bates It's the late 1890s, but Marianne and Penelope are far from being proper Victorian young ladies, despite the impression they might give.

Pretty Tied Up by Elizabeth Coldwell Tired of the restrictions of small-town life, Lucille is carving out a career for herself as a successful glamour model in New York.

But Dusty isn't like any other photographer Lucille has ever met - and persuading her to pose for bondage shots is only the start of her education... Midsummer Madness by Rowan Qwen In the world of a Celtic chieftain, marriage is a political tool rather than a question of love or romance. Elinor, the chieftain's beautiful red-headed daughter, could enjoy the pick of the young men in her tribe - but her marriage to another tribal leader has already been decided. Although her marriage fate is in the hands of her father, where she takes her sexual pleasure is still very much within her own power. And power is its own aphrodisiac, as Elinor soon discovers in the midsummer revels which mark her coming of age... These stories also appear in Past Pleasures published by Xcite Books.
