Cordelia Delachatte journeys to Egypt in search of a lost manuscript detailing rituals of feminine pleasure. But when a mysterious dealer hints at more than just scrolls, her curiosity draws her beyond Cairo’s streets and deep into the desert. Welcomed and claimed by a secret cult devoted to ancient Egyptian gods Min, Anubis, and Amun-Ra, Cordelia must study the rites from a distance, or become the offering they require. Swathed in linen, anointed with sacred oils, and shared by masked worshippers, Cordelia’s body becomes their altar. But this is no symbolic rite. The gods intend to flood her with far more than forgotten knowledge, and Amun-Ra, the Hidden One, reveals himself not once, but twelve times. By the end of the glorious sarcophagus ritual, every omission in her precious papyrus will be filled — just as soon as they’ve finished filling her. Shared on the Nile is the 10,000-word first story in The Amatory Adventures of Cordelia Delachatte, Victorian Lady Explorer series. These scorching short stories are for those who prefer their history unbuttoned and their delights forbidden. less

An ancient ritual. A curious scholaress. And a brotherhood of masked wolves eager to fill her with far more than forgotten history. When Victorian lady explorer Cordelia Delachatte arrives in Rome, she expects dusty manuscripts — not whispers of a secret society reviving the forbidden rites of Lupercalia. Armed with insatiable curiosity (and a scandalous disregard for propriety), she follows a wolf-masked stranger through the Eternal City. .. and straight into legend... moreAn ancient ritual. A curious scholaress. And a brotherhood of masked wolves eager to fill her with far more than forgotten history. When Victorian lady explorer Cordelia Delachatte arrives in Rome, she expects dusty manuscripts — not whispers of a secret society reviving the forbidden rites of Lupercalia. Armed with insatiable curiosity (and a scandalous disregard for propriety), she follows a wolf-masked stranger through the Eternal City. .. and straight into legend. Crowned the Mother Wolf, Cordelia becomes the centerpiece of a primal fertility celebration where every chase ends in capture. Her bosom swollen with sacred sustenance, she’s hunted, filled, and claimed by every eager mouth and reverent hand the festival demands. These masked devotees are reviving history, using Cordelia’s body as their living parchment. And when the chief wolf steps forward — larger, hungrier, and determined to leave her overflowing with consecrated release — she learns exactly how Rome was on creamy abundance, endless devotion, and the wails of a woman utterly undone by worship. Claimed by the Wolf Cult is the 10,000-word second story in The Amatory Adventures of Cordelia Delachatte, Victorian Lady Explorer series. These scorching short stories are for those who prefer their history unbuttoned and their delights forbidden. less
