Rubies and Black Velvet
by Denise RossettiDenise Rossetti goes beyond the limits of desire with this positively combustible novella of magic and erotic adventure--as dangerous as it's desirable. It was a deceptively beautiful corset trimmed with heartsblood rubies, but fashioned by the vengeful spirit of a dark sorceress, a vixen of the dark forever. Once the cursed laces tighten around the vulnerable Meggie, so does the grip of the sorceress's escapable curse--one with the ability to transform any woman into a ferociously dominating and limitlessly inventive femme fatale. Now trapped in an erotic dance of domination and submission, as both cruel mistress and helpless slave, Meggie must do everything in her power to resist the corset's hypnotic pull, or she could destroy the only man she ever loved. Includes a preview of The Dark Rose Rubies and Black Velvet previously appeared in Unlaced

From the award-winning author of The Rift, Nina Allan, this early story-cycle explores the lives touched on by the enigmatic, elusive figure of Ruby Castle.Multi-award-winning author Nina Allan takes us on a journey exploring the elliptical nature of time and place, and in precise and beautiful prose explores the very nature of storytelling.The story of Ruby Castle is told in snapshots and fleeting glimpses and secret histories, in tales repeated and reinvented by those who fall under the horror film actress's spell: her childhood sweetheart; an antiquarian bookseller with a passion for magical artefacts; the mistress of the poet who was once Castle's lover; a young girl in a future Russia who dreams of the stars.As worlds collide, the boundaries between the real and the fantastic begin to break down. Is Ruby Castle a living person or a collective fantasy? By the time the final page of Ruby is turned, the world that Castle created through her films has become dangerously indistinguishable from our own.
