Taming The Rose: An Erotic Fairytale by Anya Howard
As the daughter of a forest woodsman, Roselyn’s life has always been simple and unadventurous. Compared frequently to her stunning younger sister, Rooselyn has never forgotten that she stands second place in their widowed mother’s heart. Everything changes for her family, however, after her sister accepts the marriage proposal of the once-cursed and handsome Prince Michael.
Enduring the dour courtiers at the prince’s castle is definitely not Roselyn’s idea of fun. Soon she becomes friends with a pair of lively young men who are equally bored with the court. When the three venture secretly to a Fair outside of Michael’s dominion, Roselyn witnesses sensuous sights that remind her of the frustrated desires she has always ignored. That night Roselyn is introduced to the Mummer King, a masked figure whose duty is to carry petitioners’ requests to the old pagan gods. In the presence of this forbidding stranger Roselyn dares to confess her secret and passionate needs.
Upon the return to Prince Michael’s castle Roselyn is confronted with an ancient evil that has been unleashed upon the court. Hope of defeating this monstrous force arrives in a most unexpected hero - one who will not only challenge Michael’s reign and but more so, Roselyn’s dubious beliefs about love.

The Story of Odette: The Swanmaiden's Unveiling by Anya Howard
Odette, daughter of a Saxon cheiftain and his swanmaiden bride, was orphaned at an early age and then banished by her vengeful half-sister, Vanda. Years later, Odette is found by her sympathetic brother-in-law, and escorted into the safe haven of Athla. In this fabled realm the law decrees that Odette must learn the sacred rites of the Great Balance, or the sensual equilibrium between men and women.
While Odette is initiated into Athla's disciplines of passion and surrender, powerful forces work beyond the borders. The vampire priests of Loki seek a swanmaiden's daughter in order to sacrifice her so that their god may be released from his ancient shackles. To obtain Odette for this rite, the vampires turn to Lady Vanda and the aid of a handsome mercenary who knows nothing about Odette's heritage or Vanda's unsated sense of revenge.
What the malevolent trickster has not revealed to his priests is his true objective - not merely to usher in Ragnarok, but more importantly, to abolish and utterly destroy love and sensuality in the world of mankind. Only one man can stand against Loki's plans and save Odette from sacrifice - the same man who has vowed to return the swanmaiden's daughter back to her unforgiving sister.
“Anya Howard’s The Story of Odette combines mythology, erotica and BDSM in grand style. It’s a lush, multi-layered tale with a strong-willed heroine and a supporting cast of supernatural beings and easy to loathe villains.” ~ Jade Blackmore, author of "Seduced And Abandoned & Other Erotic Tales"
