Life Without Raine
# of pages or word count: 57 pages
Genre: Fantasy erotic romance
Heat rating: 3 Novas
Revised edition
Raine Sinclair can't believe she's inherited a castle. She's an American, after all, and has no need for an ancient pile of crumbling stone. After six months of communication with the English barrister handling the estate, she receives a mysterious note telling her she must come to England before the next full moon to claim her inheritance.
Michael Connors is NOT what she pictured as a barrister. Too handsome and sexy for her peace of mind, he could melt her underwear with just one look. Too bad the poor insane man thinks they were married in a previous life.
To receive the property and promised wealth Raine must face unexpected danger, a crazy housekeeper, a jealous rival, and above all, a man who believes he's loved her for more than eight hundred years...and says he can't bear to live another life without Raine.

All You Need is Lust
When Kira Maxwell decides to trade in her lousy sex life for a very expensive vibrator, she visits the classiest joint on the Las Vegas strip to make her purchase. She hopes to at least keep her body satisfied, because her heart has yet to find satisfaction from any man.
However, The Great Smenkare vibrator isn’t a regular sex toy. Cursed because his selfish behavior caused the death of Bastet’s favorite priestess, Smenkare has paid the price over and over for his selfish use of women. He wants nothing more than to be freed from Bastet’s service…until he meets the funny and sweet Kira.
A spell is cast between two people who can heal each other—but the magic holding Smenkare in Kira’s arms only lasts thirty days.
Publisher’s Note: You just can’t keep a good story down. Previously published as The Lust Bastion in Ellora’s Cave’s Lighthearted Lust anthology, the story was rebirthed with another publisher under the title Wish Upon a Prince. But now, revised and expanded with lots more “lust”, it’s back where it belongs under a new title and a new pen name. If you enjoyed Bastet, the mysterious character in Can’t Buy Me Lust, she’s back to her mischievousness in All You Need Is Lust.

Riley Ashford brings to life an enjoyable erotic tail of a charming knight and his everlasting love. Bethany is an extremely likable character and comes across as genuinely kind and sincere before you even hear her tragic tale.
For a short story the reader gets to delve into the heroine's personality and make a connection with her. Alexander is an interesting hero as he spends a good portion of the story as
