Bio:
After
living a checkered past, and despite an avowed disinterest in domesticity,
multi-published erotic romance author Anya Richards settled in Ontario, Canada,
with husband, kids, an adorable pup and a cat that plots world domination, one
food bowl at a time. Her slightly darker alter-ego, Anya Delvay, emerges
occasionally to write erotica.
Interested
in all things historical and hysterical, Anya describes herself as intensely
curious, (although the word ‘nosy’ has been bandied about) and a life-long
people-watcher. Using what she’s discovered about people, places and various
weird and wonderful things, Anya has written contemporary, historical and
paranormal/fantasy romance novels, novellas and short stories for Samhain
Publishing, Ellora’s Cave, Cleis Press and Spice Briefs.

What
the Mistress Did
Historical erotica (Georgian-set)
Blurb:
Oh, the delicious peril of deception…
Lady Marianne Gillingham
has no intention of ending her affair with David Dunscombe, Earl Harrington,
despite his pending nuptials. She craves his attentions, and he satisfies her
deepest yearnings.
Yet, when his fiancée,
the sweet, innocent and oh-so-very young Annabelle Frazier, appears on her
doorstep to demand the end of the association, Marianne realizes she does not
wish to be second in David’s affections. She also cannot resist issuing a warning.
The earl will bed his wife with tedious regularity, but never reveal his more unusual desires.
To Marianne’s amusement,
her prediction comes true, with a surprising twist. The countess is back with a
new demand: repair the problem her prophetic words created. Taking pleasure in
imagining the other woman’s fear and horror, Marianne rekindles the affair to
demonstrate exactly how to fulfill David’s lascivious desires—while Annabelle
secretly watches from the shadows.
She never expected
Annabelle to prove so resilient and surprisingly easy—not to mention
delicious—to corrupt. Or that the ensuing erotic tangle would be impossible to
put right without heartbreak.
Excerpt Two:
Miss
Frasier pales, delicate lips trembling, and for a moment I think she might cry.
I want
her to. Base though the sentiment is, I want her to know pain, to hurt as I do.
But, true
to her cold breeding, she rallies without even a single tear. Raising her chin,
she glares at me, but the rapid rise and fall of her bosom betrays her agitation.
I watch that motion of tender flesh, think of David filling his palms with it,
and allow myself, for the merest second, to imagine what he would feel.
“You have
had your time with Lord Harrington.” Her voice is frigid and stern. Arrogance
resonates in every syllable, and my amusement melts beneath the heat of
irritation. “As of the date of our marriage, he will no longer require your
services.”
Prideful
chit, to seek to dismiss me as though I were no more than a housemaid! Rising
from my chair to swing my skirts around the intervening table, I step close
enough to see the pulse beating in her throat. So close our hems touch and I
imagine the frantic pace of her heart surrounds me.
“I doubt,
little one, you will be capable of giving David what he needs, so I caution you
about trying to be rid of me so soon.” The corners of her lips turn down, my
use of Lord Harrington’s given name causing anger, as is my intent. “Many a
married lady will tell you, better the mistress you know than the one you do
not.”
Her face
tightens, grows paler yet beneath the powder, and when she speaks, it is in a
disgust-laden rush. “There is nothing you give Lord Harrington I, as his wife, will not.”
I laugh
then, for how could I resist? But beneath the laughter lies rage and an honest
contempt for her innocent avowal.
“You are
correct, of course. There is nothing I give David
you are incapable of, although I doubt you would be willing.”
