The Velvet Quiet: Volume #1 by Laurel Black
‘The two stared out at the sky. Alex reminisced on what could have been, what he’d already achieved. He thought about Alice, about the lovers he abandoned, the dreams he built for himself. And as the sun kept rising, he couldn’t help but turn to Erin then. He titled his chin up, and kissed him once more, their hands still intertwined.
‘Light filled the sky, and just like that, everything faded to white.’
We fell in love within the veil. Our arms caressed our lovers, as we spoke our promises in the dark. We made our vows, and made them ours, no matter what anyone else may think. Our hearts called out to our lovers, and when Death finally comes for us, we’ll fall asleep softly, gently.
This short story collection includes His Grey Eyes, Time’s Decadence, and The Reaper’s Blessing.

Scandal: The Rise and Fall of the Birchmier Brothers (Blackmail, Billionaire, Voyeur, Kinky Erotica):Two young men and two young women weave themselves deeper and deeper into drama, heartbreak, betrayal and sex in this series of short erotic stories.
The sons of Jordan Birchmier, Christian and Jordan, have been at war with one another for years. When older brother, Christian, caught younger brother, Jordan, behaving badly and had their father strike Jordan from the will, the younger Birchmier swore to get revenge.
That revenge caught innocent Willow, a woman from a poor family that basically won the lottery when she got a job at Birchmier and Sons. Photos of her having drunken sex emailed to Christian dash all of her hopes and dreams, though, when they are used to blackmail him into firing her.
When Jordan and Willow meet, it seems that romance and a mutual desire for revenge cause them to bond. But the plan that they hatch ends with a shocking twist Willow never sees coming.
Master’s Obedient Toy (Pushed To Her Limits):Jane’s been with her Master for a while now. She’s learned his rules, and she follows them… usually. One day, while being punished for talking back, she’s nude in the corner when she hears a knock at the front door.
Another man has been invited to use her while Master watches.
What Jane doesn’t know is that this is simply the next step in her submission. If she does well, she’ll be rewarded, in ways she never expected. But if she fails…
Into The Wild (An Erotic Paranormal Fantasy):Danika is good at her job, but her life is boring. She feels stifled and uncreative, slaving away to make websites for clients that don’t appreciate her.
When her boss’s copier catches on fire and sends the whole building home early, she has to pass through a huge forest. Danika realizes she left an unfinished website on her computer in the building that’s up in flames and panics!
While trying to calm down, Danika wanders into the woods and passes through an unseen barrier. The world that Danika is forced into is one where all women are witches and their powers are taken… but only through the act of sex.
Will the King of the mysterious tribe that captures her let her go? Or will he keep her as his sex slave for good?
Love’s Storm (Stranded With The Billionaire):Chloe has always been the strange girl. She’s not as wealthy as her friends, and certainly not as pretty as her best friend Amanda. She’s struggling to afford community college while Amanda glides through her expensive university with rich boyfriends.
Amanda’s got an idea to help, though. She’ll bring her friend out on the yacht, and then good times will be had by all. She even brings two hot guys for Chloe to hook up with! There’s only one problem: they’re gay.
An unexpected storm throws Amanda’s boat against a small island and leaves the yacht’s captain unconscious, Chloe has to make the whole group work together to survive. Things seem to be going well until another boat crashes into the island, too.
Justis and Chloe immediately have chemistry. But will Chloe allow that chemistry to blossom into something more?

The Portable Laura Roberts by Laura Roberts
Laura Roberts was born in 1978 and immediately began writing the story of her life, after staring up at a spinning mobile above her crib for a sufficient period of time and thinking, “I could do better than that.” Though the intervening years have seen her scribbling in notebooks, Harriet the Spy-style, as well as concocting rude gossip rags about her friends and family (hello, “Gossip World!”), she first debuted her special brand of insanity in a university-level screenwriting class, where her final project was a Hal Hartley-inspired fanfic tribute to David Duchovny whose climax saw the protagonist wielding two menacing halves of Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason in a boxing match against Duchovny’s real-life wife, Téa Leoni. She received an A from her professor, as well as the astute comment, “You got away with a lot.”
She has been getting away with a lot more ever since, including crime fiction, erotica, sex columns, an honors degree in Creative Writing and English Literature, thinly veiled tracts against her former home base in Austin, Texas, and a ninja versus pirates cavalcade.
Laura is the author of NINJAS OF THE 512, aka the best novel you’ll ever read about pirates, ninjas and evil politicians in Austin, Texas. Her second novel, NAKED MONTREAL, about her time as a sex columnist in the Sin City of the North, is available in serial format. She is also pondering a ninja follow-up that features ninjas versus robots. In her copious spare time, Laura curates the cheeky literary magazine Black Heart, which features indie authors’ poetry and prose on a daily basis, and lives in an Apocalypse-proof bunker in SoCal with her artist husband and their literary kitty, Nedward Carlos Nedwards.
THE PORTABLE LAURA ROBERTS is Laura’s most egotistical anthology to date, but she hopes her friends and fans will be amused by this diversion while they await the completion of her next novel.
This sampler contains many of Laura’s previously published short fiction including:
-CRIME FICTION-
17 Things You Never Knew About Val Capone
Murder in the Key of E
Snow Patrol
Wakizashi
Of Cocks and Existentialism
-EROTICA-

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