"A wonderfully written erotic tale of sexual fantasy."

Even though M.A. duBarry has written a very short story with THE SILK GARTERS, it packs quite a punch. Simone Driscoll enjoys working at her family's auction house. She has definitely seen some strange things come and go as well. When her assistant Gerald notices the box with the silk garters on her desk, Simone isn't sure what to do them. They were turned over to the auction house by a private seller. The seller has also provided a history on the garters. It turns out the garters came from a famous French madam, Madame Chambray, and Simone knows the legends that quite a few of the items in her "house" were magic. Simone decides to try and find a private buyer for them. She takes them home and decides to try them out. You won't believe what happens.

This is a wonderfully written erotic tale of sexual fantasy. Even though it's the middle of winter, THE SILK GARTERS definitely warmed me up and had me squirming. This is quite the erotic short story and I can't wait for the next installment!

Summary

When the ancient line of Dracolian princes falls in battle to an evil enemy, Quentin Moore is taken prisoner and sentenced to death by beheading. But when the mighty sword known as the Blood Ruby shatters at his neck, leaving his body intact and very much alive, Quentin is sent to the realm of the Sidhe—home of Lhiannan Sidhe, the beguiling Irish vampyre fairy. As prisoner, he is given one chance to redeem his soul and win back his castle, Dun Drac'ola. But in order to win his freedom, Quentin must live up to the legendary reputation of his ancestors—an ancient line of warriors known for their mastery of wielding the Blood Ruby. But in the realm of the Sidhe, the Blood Ruby is more than merely a weapon for the battlefield, it's also the symbol of the realm's highest sex magician. And in a world where courts are convened to guarantee the kingdom's women their sexual satisfaction, a man's fate rests solely in his ability to sate his bedmate. And the holder of the Blood Ruby must sate Lhiannan Sidhe. Can Quentin claim back that which is rightfully his?
