A word about the covers: The publisher chose them. I was not consulted.
Had I been, you’d be looking at a stern and elegant Victorian lady gowned in black leather, possibly with a riding crop cradled in one opera-gloved hand and a pocket watch dangling from the other. Also possibly with a handsome, naked man kneeling at her feet in adoration. Or maybe an aethereal blonde and a grotesque, ape-like man. At least then, you’d have some idea of what lies within.
The Books
Dark Goddess In Love is a twisted gothic romance, complete with creepy old castle and a ghost. Two young, Victorian noblewomen compete for the love of a handsome lordling of sterling character. One is a good girl, pious, kind and chaste, though tormented by strong desires. The other is evil, dominant and cruel, devoted to use of the crop and dildo and equally aroused by exercising her hypnotic arts to enslave whom she chooses—man or woman—for pleasure or to further her wicked schemes, which include bribery, blackmail, robbery, extortion, physical and emotional torture, abduction and murder. She is the villain of the piece, and also its narrator, which accounts for some of the story's more unusual turns.
Dark Goddess in Love
The same wicked woman returns in Masks of the Dark Goddess to scheme her way to the top of London's society world and along the way, fall in love with one of her key political pawns—a strange, aethereal girl who may be imbued with a supernatural power and—even more likely—in the grip of an elusive swindler, somehow back from the grave. Her quest to find and destroy him leads to adventure, peril and unbridled cruelty on the city's rooftops and secret tunnels. Amidst this, she toils at home to advance her submissive husband's training and political career and lift both him and her favourite slave girl from a bad case of debilitating doldrums.
Masks of the Dark Goddess
In Puppets of the Dark Goddess, a determination to elevate her slave husband to the highest office in the land pits the most cruel and dominant woman in Victorian England against an unseen foe, equally determined to keep him from the Prime Minister's chair.
Murder, torture, mesmerism and devious schemes ensue. But equally, she must attend to the illicit erotic cabaret she is launching in a famously haunted house and the eccentric scientist she has installed in its attic. At the same time, she must see to her husband's on-going training and the systematic development of the natural depravity hidden within her beautiful young neighbour.
As her passion and prowess mount, she awakens to a whole new realm of cruelty and control.

A Quick Word
Hi, welcome to my site, cunningly designed with your mind in mind—less cunningly with intent to promote the books—but you probably already guessed that.
Also, that I’m kinky. Some of what you can read here is based on my own experience. Some isn’t.
Femdom and gothic horror being dear to my heart, I decided to start with Dark Goddess In Love and go for classic gothic: strong action and heated emotion, an air of delirium and two women in love with the same man. He’s a Victorian lord, strong, handsome and smart, but with deep inner troubles. One of the women is fair-haired, chaste, kind-hearted and good. The other is dark, cruel, far from chaste, an accomplished sadist, a hypnotist and utterly ruthless. There’s also a creepy old house and a ghost. Standard elements—I admit it freely—but emphatically not a standard treatment.
The sequels, Masks of the Dark Goddess and Pawns of the Dark Goddess offer very different and more complex stories, but with lots of the same lavish, libidinous life.
I’ve had tons of fun writing the Dark Goddess books and I’m keen to explore all sorts of other kinks—even vanilla—along with genres and tones, from darkest doom to airiest light. Check out, for instance Her Desperate Dilemma, an audio book I’ve just sent off to the publisher, the estimable Andrews UK. It’s a horse opera of a different colour.
Let me know what you think and I will get back to you.
Cheers,
Peyton
