Welcome to The Dark Side, where the line between love and lust blurs with
dangerous passions.
The Dark One by Angela Knight
Matia of Ruza is one of the legendary Battlemaids -- a woman warrior who
has taken an oath of celibacy in service of the Maid of Light. Kaska intends
to make Matia the centerpiece in a sizzling erotic ritual in honor of his
god.
Chain of Thorns by Will Okati
Riven finds himself trapped and enslaved by a powerfully seductive alien.
Where is the line between fantasy and reality -- slavery and love?
BloodWolf by Sierra Dafoe
Centuries ago an ancient evil turned Baudouin Delacor into a beast for
which there had never before been a name -- the BloodWolf. Delacor has only
one hope left: that by destroying the succubus, he can free himself of its
curse.
EXCERPT
Excerpt from The Dark One (Angela Knight)
Kaska of Artane slowed his stallion to an easy amble. Prince Britar's
fortress lay a full day away, and he'd ridden poor Warbringer hard this past
month. He knew the Prince awaited the intelligence he'd gathered as a spy in
neighboring Trovan but laming his horse would serve no purpose.
Particularly with war on the horizon.
Besides, the last time Kaska had come this way, he'd had to battle the
local brigands. Two fell to his blade before the rest fled, but that left
five. And they might be in the mood for revenge. I don't care to ride
headlong into an ambush.
"Whoreson bastards!" A woman's roar of fury brought Kaska's head
up. He drew Warbringer to a prancing halt.
Swords clashed, interspaced with male taunts and laughter. The laughter had
a distinctly ugly note. The woman swore again, an edge of grim desperation
in her voice.
The thieves had found a new victim.
Kaska set his heels to Warbringer's flanks and thundered up the road toward
the sound. Rounding the bend, he saw five men fighting a lone female
traveler they'd managed to unhorse. He recognized the dented, rusted armor
and unshaven faces; it was indeed the same band of thieves.
But their victim was no common woman. Her armor and sword marked her as a
follower of the Maid of Light -- a female warrior. She was tall for a woman,
with a lithe, muscular build and pretty breasts barely contained by her
intricately embossed breastplate. Long black hair swirled around her face as
she spun and hacked at her tormentors with a slim sword designed for a
woman's hand.
One of the brigands already lay dead at her feet, but four others remained,
odds too great even for one of the legendary Battlemaids.
A grin of sheer, savage joy spread across Kaska's face. With a howl, he
drew the blade sheathed across his back and kicked Warbringer into a
thundering charge.
The nearest of the brigands whirled too late. Kaska took his head with a
single stroke.
Another of the men jumped at him, hacking for his thigh with an axe, but
Kaska spun Warbringer aside and thrust his blade into the thief's chest. The
man tumbled off the lethal point, gurgling out his life.
Meanwhile, the third brigand fell to the Battlemaid's sword. His head
tumbled from his shoulders.
The fourth man looked from Kaska to the thieves' would-be victim,
calculated the odds, and took to his heels.
Kaska snatched a dagger from his thigh sheath and hurled it at the coward
with an expert flip of his wrist. The man went down, the blade buried to the
hilt between his shoulder blades.
Scarcely breathing hard, Kaska turned to the maid. "Are you
well?"
"Well enough." She studied him, her dark eyes level. There was a
sharp and elegant beauty to her face, with its broad, high cheekbones and
square little chin. Her lush mouth could inspire a monk to carnal
fantasies.
"My thanks, warrior," she said at last in a low, husky voice,
pushing the long black hair out of her face. "There were too many of
them for me to best alone." She considered him, appraising the width of
his chest and the strength of his sword arm. Female appreciation lit her
gaze, mixed with a warrior's caution.
She had reason for that caution, for he meant to challenge her himself. He
worshiped the Dark One, and his god relished nothing as much as the moans of
a defeated Battlemaid.
Imagining the tight grip of her virgin ass, Kaska felt his cock swell
behind his loincloth.
Give her time to rest, and then...
Of course, the maid might well kill him instead, but looking at her long
legs and full, sweet breasts, Kaska thought it a chance well worth
taking.
But as he opened his mouth to warn her of his intent, all color left the
Battlemaid's face. Her eyes rolled up. Kaska threw himself from Warbringer's
back as she collapsed in a heap.
Two long strides carried him to the maid's side. Dropping to one knee on
the dusty road, Kaska began an anxious examination. He found no wounds on
the front of her body, so he rolled her onto her back.
The maid groaned and lifted her head. "Wha --?"
"Seems one of your cur attackers landed a blow after all," he
told her grimly. "There's a stab wound in your back just under your
backplate, over your left hip."
"Aye," she said, letting her head fall. "One of them had a
dagger."
"'Tis not deep, but it bleeds still," Kaska said. "I can
treat it, if you permit."
"Aye," the maid said, breathing now in shallow pants. "My
thanks."
Kaska nodded and rose to retrieve his pack of battlefield medicines from
Warbringer. Well, he thought as he walked to his horse, I won't be
challenging her any time soon. Not with that wound.
Later, perhaps. When he'd examined her, he'd noticed she had a truly
delicious ass.
He wanted it.

BDSM Romance, Gay, Dark Fantasy
Date Published: May 9, 2025
Three vampires battle the lives they left behind to build a future out of
the ashes of their pasts.
Immortal Steps: Tain, a renowned Celtic dancer, has bitter memories of his
first crush and the trainer who left him without a word. For years he's
flung himself from one brief romantic encounter to another, the subject of
tabloid gossip and speculation, always insisting he's not gay. When Kyle,
Tain's old mentor, comes back into Tain's life, the last thing Tain wants is
to give the man, or the vampire, a place in his heart.
Hidden Depths: Pat's devoted his life to locating the wreck of The
Pelican's Flight, sunk in 1692, along with forty other ships, when the
infamous town of Port Royal slid into the Caribbean. Jamie lost more than
his lover when The Pelican went down. Pat offers Jamie hope at finding his
ship, along with a chance at rediscovering love. Will the secrets they share
bring them together? Or tear them apart?
Vampires In Heat: Humans in Seattle are dying as a result of domestic cat
vampires and demonesses working together. The latest victim is Erron's
neighbor and best friend. Nolan, the leader of Seattle's Pacifistic Vampire
Clan, and Erron, an albino who is commonly mistaken for a vampire, team up
with the cat vamp leader to find the rogues who are killing needlessly and
trying to discredit vampire-kind. And just maybe, between them, they'll find
more than a remedy for this vampire scourge -- like love!
Publisher's Note: Immortal Steps, Vampires In Heat, and Hidden Depths have
been previously published as stand alone novellas.
EXCERPT
Excerpt from Immortal Steps
Alone, Kyle Lohan entered his private balcony at the Grampian Theater in
Edinburgh, Scotland. As he sat down, the house lights dimmed briefly to
signal a two minute warning before the show began. The box smelled faintly
of sex, although he doubted anyone without a vampire's heightened senses
could detect the erotic scent. Regardless, it was his own fault for sneaking
in to watch rehearsals the previous evening. He'd been unable to resist
tugging his cock in time with the heavy beat of the dancers as they
practiced.
Okay, not all the performers excited him. Just one.
Tain O'Halloran.
Tonight Kyle had better prepared for the public performance, or so he'd
thought. The quick release during his shower should have calmed his libido
enough to sit through the performance without a hard-on. But as the first
strains of a flute solo poured across the stage, the anticipation proved to
be more than his body could resist and his cock rose to an aching
fullness.
Tain. On stage. His stage.
How long had he waited for this? Worked for this? Dreamed of this?
Sometimes it seemed like forever. And yet, very soon, the moment he'd been
preparing for would arrive. One way or another, he would finally end his
long pursuit.
He adjusted the fit of his tuxedo pants as the chorus sprinted across the
stage. Their shoes hit the wooden floor in rhythmic, staccato beats,
flirting with the notes. Kyle couldn't stop his own feet from scuffing
against the floor in a pale imitation of the dancers' fancy footwork. Had
his heart been prone to beat, it would have been racing as fast as the
music.
A few more seconds...
Then, appearing out of a flash of light and smoke, bam! There he was. Tain
O'Halloran. The male lead's long, sleek black hair floated behind him as he
bounced in perfect synchronization with the little blond at his side. His
grey eyes flashed with pure joy and a little arrogance. A smile curved his
thin pink lips. And what that black leather did for his ass...
Kyle groaned softly as his cock twitched with longing, but he refused to
slake his lust. Privacy wasn't an issue, even during a public performance.
No, nothing mattered more than soaking up every moment of this night to tuck
away in his memories. If the evening didn't go as planned, this could be all
he had left to remember the talented young man come morning.
The first dance ended, and Kyle felt the tightness in his chest ease as
Tain exited stage right. He'd reappear several times throughout the
performance.
Kyle itched with anticipation for the next time, and the next... and the
next... By the second act, Kyle could pick out Tain's unique sweat from the
morass of odors permeating the air. The scent teased his cock like nothing
else. His whole body tensed as he imagined jumping over the balcony's rail
to land on top of the dancer's young bones, then fucking him to within an
inch of his life, claiming him on stage for all the world to see.
Well, that's one way to announce that you're back in his life, Kyle thought
with a rueful shake of his head. Definitely not one of your brightest ideas
though.
If anything, such a bold, stupid move would get him thrown out of Tain's
life for good. Kyle's goal was quite the opposite. If he had his way,
nothing would separate him from Tain ever again.
The show ended with a roar of applause that pulled the dancers back on
stage for a second encore. Vibrant and smiling under the lights, Tain looked
like he could hold out for a third reprise if the director let him. However,
the rest of the troupe wasn't fairing as well, so when the curtains closed
again the house lights came up.
The show was over, but Kyle's performance of a lifetime was about to
begin.
