About the author:

Leigh Anderson has lived in Asia for many years, which inspires her to write romances set in ancient China. Her friends and family have no idea what she writes in the dark hours of the night, when sleep eludes her. She keeps her fantasies safe within the confines of her writing….for now.

What inspired you to write your book?

There are not enough erotica books that feature strong Chinese women. My series will highlight these women.

Here is a short sample from the book:

History may paint me as a monster, a usurper, a woman who didn’t know her place and corrupted a dynasty, but that is not my story.
I was born for greatness, and I quickly climbed life’s ladder. I was an imperial consort to the emperor of China at only fourteen years old. When my husband died when I was only twenty-four, was I supposed to enter a convent willingly? Should my life be over before it had even begun? I would not let men make this decision for me. I took my destiny into my own hands and shaped it with an iron whip.
I knew my husband would die. He was not an old man, but he loved war. He founded a dynasty from the back of his battle steed, and even after his new kingdom was established, he refused to climb down. His medicine men gave him pills to make him stronger, but it was clear they were having the opposite effect. He would not live to see his hair turn grey.
Tradition dictated that I would be sent to a convent and would have to shave my head when my husband died because I was without children. I would not submit to this fate. When my husband left on his last campaign, I began to form my own plan.
My husband had many sons by his other wives, but it was clear that his youngest son, Li Zhi, would succeed him. I was only four years his senior, and he was a beautiful boy. His eyes were deep and calm, his hands were soft as flower petals, and his lips were pink as chrysanthemums. He was also kind, though many, even my husband, saw his kindness as weakness. I knew he would not forsake me. Would a weak man defy tradition, history, and even morals to rescue me from obscurity? I think not. I knew that if he could only love me, I would not be assigned to my retched fate.
While my husband was yet alive, I enticed the boy to my bed. Some may accuse me of incest and betrayal of my husband, but the boy was no relation to me. Yes, I did lay with another man while my husband was alive, which was punishable by death if we had been caught, but life as a nun in a temple was the same to me as death. I had to risk one death to avoid another…

    Thrones of Desire: Erotic Tales of Swords, Mist and Fire by Mitzi Szereto

    0 out of 5

    Thrones of Desire is a place where lust and legend abound, and adventure, passion and danger entwine. Think mystical lands and creatures, kings and queens, knights and renegades, heroes and villains, warlords, maidens and princesses. Think battles and danger, honor and dishonor, good and evil. Most of all, think hearts filled with passion and secret desire. This is a place where romantic chivalry is alive and well, but so too is romantic wickedness. This is a place where the good do not always win, and the bad are often more captivating and desirable than their altruistic counterparts. In these lush and timeless landscapes, the battle for flesh can be as important as the battle for power. Intrigue, sorcery, revenge, lawlessness, dark secrets and mysterious elixirs; entanglements with supernatural beings — everything is possible in these magical mythical landscapes. Inspired by Game of Thrones these imaginative steamy tales transport the reader to fantastical realms. Featuring a special foreword from legendary fantasy author Piers Anthony.

    Perfect Need – Seven Tales of Love and Passion by Barbara L.B. Storey

    0 out of 5

    Close your eyes.

    Fall in love.

    Stay there.

    ~ Rumi

    You never know who you’ll fall in love with, or why, or whether it’s a good idea – ask Rowan in A Star, A Stone. A sudden rainstorm – Stormy Weather – or even an exercise class – The Queen of Heaven – can be the spark that creates abandon and exhilarating passion between two lovers. In Dolce, a full-course Italian meal prepared with love whets . . . other appetites.

    The stories in Perfect Need explore what love and passion can become, how they can affect two people for a moment, or for a lifetime; when they tumble into a love they never expected; when they decide it’s worth the risk to stay . . . or not.
