Description from the publisher:
Anjasa has been through the worst
parts of hell and come back from it wounded but stronger. A trained assassin
and courtesan, she’s seen the worst in others… and herself.
She doesn’t know what she wants, but
she knows the things she needs. Companionship. Adventure. Fear. She needs to
feel alive.
When she meets the human noble,
Loren, in the bar, she figured he’d be good for a night of fun. A place to
sleep.
Instead she finds an adventure that
she can’t turn away from, even though her instincts warn her of the terrible
things to come…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anjasa has been trained as a
courtesan in the elven lands, but now she lives in the world of humans. She is no longer a sex-slave, but she is now
living day to day for substance and shelter.
In a bar, she meets a young noble, Sir Loren Faro, and she believes she
may have found security for herself.
First, she will need to help him to secure his inheritance. This leads her to his cousin, Zarach. She will have to choose between the cousins
and who to assist in their bid for inheritance.
This was a hot, steamy, short
read. Though a short read, it did not
feel rushed. The plot and characters are
well-developed. I did feel that there
was a missing prologue regarding Anjasa, or perhaps a prequel that I haven’t
yet found. J.E. and M have an extensive
list of stories listed on their website at http://jmkeep.com/category/books/. I intend to read
more from this talented couple.

J.E. & M. Keep love to combine fantasy, scifi, horror, romance and mystery into exciting and titillating novels.
They
are long term, loving partners in a very happy relationship and because of
this, they love to torture their characters. Dark romance touches all of their
stories in one way or another, from elicit trysts to forbidden love.
Some
of their work contains dubious consent and erotic pain, so it's not for the
faint of heart. Their stories are often called twisted and arousing -- at the
same time.
All work is 18+, trigger warnings
available on the second page of every book. If you want to hear about new

She
brought her glass up and clinked it delicately, “So what’s happened? What
ragamuffin has hurt such a handsome and charming man as you?”
Tipping
back the drink, she made a soft moan of appreciation before lowering the long
stemmed glass back to the table.
Loren
shook his head, setting that thick head of golden brown hair to swaying gently.
“No. I’m afraid I just...” he sighed softly. “I lost my inheritance.” He paused
then added, “In a competition I mean, not like... down a drain.”
“You
bet your inheritance?” She whistled lowly as she looked over his body. “You
must be huge,” she paused a beat, “ly confident.”
That
succeeded in bringing another blush to his cheeks, but he poured her up more of
the familiarly expensive wine and shook his head. “Not... no, not exactly,” he
said. “My father, he ah,” he cleared his throat. “He disapproved of my habits
and set me against a cousin in a competition over who would retain his
inheritance.” He looked down in his drink glumly. “I went drinking the night
before.”
She
had to suppress her laughter, and she licked over her lips. “Well, we all get
cock...y from time to time. So who’s this cousin and how’d he even get chosen
for the possibility, huh?”
