Erotic | Romance Erotica Sensual | Fantasy

Hidden in the countryside of France, the Chateau de la Grotte Chachee opens its doors to only a few select patrons. Through the centuries, guests have come, been welcomed and indulged their most secret fantasies with the castle's mythical resident hosts.

Lili, a sensual Babylonian goddess, holds court with Elic, an incubus who changes his sex at will depending on the mortal he currently pursues. For Lili and Elic, as well as the other inhabitants of the castle, the possession and the slaking of raw desire is everything. And as humans wear their hearts on their sleeves, their desire for pleasure shows on their countenance. Eyes bright at the thought of release, lips trembling for it, cheeks flushed and pulses racing, the guests beg and plead without ever having to utter a word. And the hosts provide. Fantasies are fulfilled without remorse or regret and with the most experienced and enthusiastic of partners. Whatever you wish is their desire. Their only purpose is to please and be pleased.

Seductive, sensual and wildly erotic, HOUSE OF DARK DELIGHTS is an introduction to the hosts of Grotte Chachee and a few of the guests who've been entertained there over the centuries. Burton mixes fantasy and erotica as she establishes her characters and relates their histories. A welcome diversion for readers looking for a walk on the wild side. Not much is taboo in Burton's hidden castle.

SUMMARY

In this extraordinary debut, Louisa Burton extends an irresistible invitation to an erotic adventure that is quite literally out of this world. You’re hereby invited to spend a night you’ll never forget in the . . .

Nestled deep in the French countryside, hidden from prying eyes, stands an infamous castle that for centuries has lured guests with its whispered promise to make any erotic dream come true. Inside its walls you’ll discover a world of sensuality, magic, and mystery, courtesy of the château’s residents—beautiful and reclusive immortals who strive to fulfill their guests’ most secret desires even as they pursue their own insatiable gratification. You’ll meet a tall, seductive elf who can morph from male to female, a bewitching goddess from ancient Babylonia, a playfully lusty satyr, a djinni obligated to satisfy the unspoken appetites of any human he touches, and a vampire as sexually rapacious as he is bloodthirsty.

Within these pages are related the House’s most scintillating encounters, past and present. A pair of modern lovers find themselves captivated—and transformed—by the carnal demands of their hosts. An adventuress visiting with the notorious Hellfire Club stumbles from a black mass into a dungeon fitted out for restraint and discipline, where a brooding stranger turns her darkest longings into reality. A virginal female scientist is awakened by an invisible lover to the pleasures of the flesh. A young couple, forbidden to wed by an ancient taboo, finds hope in a sensual threesome. A journey into the realm of sexual love and erotic passion, House of Dark Delights is sure to leave you feeling enthralled, seduced . . . and utterly ravished.
