Part of Series
Once part of a political plot, Crimm is now captive. Worse, he’s made to work for a woman and as every Kita man knows, women exist to please men and bear children. Tihea was Crimm’s woman, trained for pleasure. Now she’s experiencing a different way of life. People thank her rather than merely give her orders. The idea of free will intrigues her, while the vision of Crimm in chains is rather...stimulating. The tables have turned and quite unexpectedly the first time she gives him an order, it sends a thrill through her that is almost erotic. Tihea is looking to seek her own pleasure, and may yet slip her bonds. Having always believed her sole purpose was to pleasure a man, Tihea now has the man who gave her orders chained and at her disposal. Having always believed her sole purpose in life was to pleasure a man, Tihea is now in charge of the man who gave her orders, and it’s time these two stubborn lovers learned that true pleasure is best shared. With the man she loves chained and at her disposal, the question is which one of them will enjoy this new kind of freedom.
Author
During Sharon’s writing career she’s lived in a house with a Harry Potter cupboard under the stairs, shared a publisher with the creator of Roger Rabbit, and has taken a trip to Jupiter. Only one of these has been in her imagination. The first short story she submitted—Silver Apples of the Moon—was accepted by Roadworks Magazine. The editor announced her as “a writer who is going places” and described the story as having “both a Sci-fi and horror element,” and being “strong on characterisation, and quite literary, in terms of style.” Subsequently, she was approached to write all reports and publicity material, including a piece for translation into Braille for The Really Wild Nursery and Arthritis Care Breaking Down the Barriers garden project, which took place at the Malvern Spring Show. Since then, her work has appeared steadily in both print and electronic publications, such as Midnight Street, Aoife’s Kiss (Sam’s Dot Publishing), Night To Dawn, and Radgepacket (Byker Books). Her short story—Bitter and Intoxicating—was snapped up for inclusion in the anthology Red Velvet and Absinthe. This compilation, edited by Mitzi Szereto with a foreword by Kelly Armstrong, was designed to evoke the romantic ethos of classic Gothic fiction with a serving of eroticism. With a repertoire of twisted tales and a love of cross-genre writing, it surprised everyone (including herself) when she branched out into erotic romance. These works have been critically acclaimed and often described as ‘deeply passionate’. Sharon’s worlds are vivid, unexpected and sometimes intensely magical. Sharon writes whatever her warped mind can come up with and is quite capable of writing something darker, grittier, and even outright twisted. Though her love for all things Myth and Legend has led her to write under more than one name, from 2019 she's using S.M.Bidwell for her Dark Fiction. She was propelled into the Steampunk universe of Space, 1899 and beyond, winning approval of series creator and award-winning game designer, Frank Chadwick, with three books, one of which was co-authored with editor (and writer) Andy Frankham-Allen, and subsequently led to her writing for the Lethbridge-Stewart series, and a short audio story for Doctor Who, performed by Katy Manning. She's also on Goodreads under the name Sharon Bidwell.
