With Lord Aric and Lady Alasha drawn away from Malkenstorm Castle by the plots of their enemies, their daughter Quirabel finds herself alone and facing implacable foes, both within her walls and without. Her only advantage is a secret map; her only allies, a maid and a prisoner from the castle&#8217;s dungeon. And the only way she can save herself, is to enslave herself. But can she bring herself to keep the promise she&#8217;s made? And will the wolfskin-cloaked warrior with the right to possess her, keep the promises he&#8217;s made in turn?</p>

<p><a href="http://velluminous.com/adult/2010/07/08/conflicting-desires/"><img class="alignleft" title="Conflicting Desires" src="http://www.velluminous.com/bookcovers/ConflictingDesires.jpg" alt="Conflicting Desires cover" width="200" height="301" /></a>Storytelling qualities such as plot and character development often take a back seat in erotic fiction&#8211;and why shouldn&#8217;t they? The reader picks up a dirty book for one reason: to be turned on, right? So why should a writer bother with all that craft stuff? But what if there were more to it than that? What if readers wanted a real novel with a real story that satisfied emotionally and intellectually&#8211;as well as erotically? It&#8217;s possible to craft a story to satisfy those readers. This book will show you how.</p>

<p><em>&#8220;<a href="http://sexwriter.info/category/a-how-to-write-erotica-book-we-can-get-behind/">A How to Write Erotica Book We Can Get Behind</a>: Conflicting Desires: Notes on the Craft of Writing Erotic Stories by Han Li Thorn is the real deal. This book covers a lot of interesting ground and is perfect for newcomers to erotica writing. Do you know how to convey plot information without resorting to cliches and overblown sex imagery? How do you communicate the heat and passion of the sexual moment without coming off like bad porn?</em></p>
<p><em>Any book on how to write erotic stories that references Joseph Campbell and Bret Easton Ellis is definitely coming from a different place than your average “write sexy” how-to.</em></p>
<p><em>I’d advise anybody who wants to learn more about writing erotic stories to pick up Conflicting Desires. This is money well spent.</em></p>
<p><em>Some might complain that the tone is a bit scholarly for an erotica book, but trust me, you need the information in these pages if you want to break into erotica. The art of writing ANY story involves these mechanics, but Thorn does take the time to address specific situations, character types and other issues common to erotic fiction.&#8221;</em> &#8212; <a href="http://sexwriter.info/">sexwriter.info</a></p>

In matters sexual I am aware only of truth, though because this truth of which I write cannot clearly be expressed in &#8216;the language of a lady&#8217;, I know my story may be more than public morals can bear. So be it.&#8221;</em> &#8212; From the memoirs of Susanna, Lady F.</p>
<p>Kidnapped and shipwrecked on a tropic isle, the Lady Susanna finds that paradise comes complete with the willing and most intimate worship of the natives, who appoint her as their goddess of love and fertility. When the island paradise is invaded by devils in the form of a priestly slave-trader and his crew, Susanna is forced to protect the people who consider her their goddess, rather than to succumb to the evil brought by her own countrymen.</p>

Little does she know that her  corporate superiors are already observing her most intimate moments, or  that the role they have in mind for her is rather different from the  powerful position she imagines for herself.    Soon, she finds herself  trapped in a humiliating world of high heels, slave collars, and  compulsory training, utterly at the mercy of her employers. It seems  there&#8217;s only one hope of rescue: her nice-guy colleague Charlie, who has  long worshipped her from afar. But will Charlie be able to resist the  reward on offer from the corporation &#8212; a reward that includes both  Jennifer Caldwell and Emma herself?</p>

Sold into slavery by her swindling stepfather, Alasha must find reserves of courage and tenacity she never knew she had, as degradation mingles with slowly kindled lust. Collared, ringed, pierced and whipped, she is auctioned at the block and passed from man to woman and back again. For the sake of her people, Alasha must find a way to reclaim her inheritance&#8211;but how can she turn her back on the man she has come to love, or on her own submissive nature?</p>

<p><em>&#8220;<a href="http://www.fallenangelreviews.com/March2005/leyna-propertyrites.htm">Alasha&#8217;s world is crashing around her</a>, her mother the matriarch has died  and her greedy stepfather has tricked her into signing indenture  papers. Her stepfather allows his guards to use Alasha and then he sells  her to the passing slave trading caravan. Alasha arrives at a slave  market and she is sold to the highest bidder. Her life becomes a cycle  of learning to please her masters and coming to terms with the fact that  she actually gains pleasure from parts of the treatment she is  subjected to. During this time she never gives up the goal of returning  to the lands that her stepfather stole from her and regaining her  heritage.</em></p>
<p><em>Property Rites: A Deed of Enslavement, by Han Li Thorn is a  compelling novel that spans a young noble woman&#8217;s fall from gentry to  slave, innocent to sexual being. Her thoughts and feelings about  everything are laid open and displayed for us.  From the crack of the  whip to the desire to be used, her thoughts are realistic and  entertaining all at the same time. The battle she fights within herself  rings wonderfully true to human nature. The descriptions and scenes are  very detailed and wonderfully written. This novel is very graphic in  places and may be to too extreme for some readers, but had me just  enthralled. I had a hard time putting this book aside. I have added this  author to my to be read list and hope to see more from her soon.&#8221;</em> &#8212; leyna, <a href="http://www.fallenangelreviews.com/">Fallen Angel Reviews</a></p>
