Unearthly Desire (Outlawed Realm Book Five) by Tina Donahue
Blurb:
They’re fighting for their lives, freedom, and love…in the realm of the dead.
Eeete, a pleasure slave, thought she’d found freedom in an underwater colony until a hated Palace guard abducted her for his carnal pleasure. Swept with him through a portal into E3, she faces danger from the deceased, grotesque monsters, and a dimension where few things are as they seem and nothing can be trusted…including her own desire.
Running from sure death, she comes upon Makam, another guard, sentenced to E3 for treason against their dimension’s depraved ruler. She’s determined to hate him—as she does all men who imprisoned her in the Palace—but survival depends on them fighting together.
Curious about Makam’s seeming honor and tempted by his untamed allure, she soon falls under his sensual spell, their nights filled with unrestrained passion, their days spent trying to stay alive…an increasingly impossible struggle.
When all appears lost, an unexpected chance allows hope for them to flee together toward a promising future.
Until a shocking secret threatens to tear them apart forever.

Excerpt:
“My wetsuit keeps me warm.” She stroked the smooth fabric. “Only my face feels chilled. After I clawed the face mask off, it won’t work any longer.”
“Hmm.” He sat back on his heels and smiled. “Should I hope you brought a wetsuit for me?”
Eeete wished she had. “Sorry. No. Take mine.”
She touched the seam on her shoulder.
The silvery-blue fabric trembled then slid down, puddling at her feet.
Makam stared at her nudity.
Because he was a guard, she should have minded but didn’t. He’d been kind, protecting her like she mattered, speaking to her as his equal, answering most of her questions, including the ridiculous and painful ones.
“Go ahead, Makam. Put it on.”
He dragged his attention from her smooth cunt to her breasts and nipples.
His gaze blurred from desire, his breathing grew increasingly strained, and the bulge between his legs was pronounced…his cock’s outline thick and hard.
Her pussy dampened further, arousal spiking in her core.
She cleared her throat, hoping her voice wouldn’t tremble as much as her insides, and toed the wetsuit to him. “Wear it.”
He blinked slowly, his attention riveted to her nudity. “The suit won’t fit me. You’re shorter.”
“The suit fits everyone. Step on the material. You’ll see.”
“You’re cold.”
The chill in here proved worse than she thought…sharp and uncomfortable…not that she’d admit it.
And didn’t have to.
Her teeth chattered. She clenched them to stop the noise.
“Fuck this. You’re freezing.” On his feet, he gathered her into his arms, his inner heat warming her.
Eeete melted into his embrace, soothed and aroused by his size and musky fragrance.
His heart beat as wildly as hers.
She nestled closer then stilled.
Doing this was wrong. She adored Zekin.
He isn’t here.
Makam was.
Eeete tried to feel bad about her feelings, but couldn’t and pressed her mouth to his ear. “Do you want me?”
The question spilled out before she could stop herself. For some reason, she didn’t regret it.
She rubbed her cheek against his and drove her fingers through his dark curls. “If you do then—”
He slanted his mouth over hers, stealing her words, accepting what she’d offered him, not taking anything against her will.
Her trust in him grew, as did her affection.
Eagerly, she accepted and worshipped his tongue, then swirled hers around it, enjoying his flavor. A pleasant taste like the succulent fruit she’d eaten on occasion in the Palace, yet also indescribable and belonging to him alone.
He angled his head to deepen the kiss.
Her innermost being—the one she’d always kept hidden from others—rejoiced.
She slipped her arms around his neck and ground her breasts and pussy against his chest and cock.
A groan escaped him, the sound pleased and uncivilized.
He palmed her nipples. The tips hardened further. Grunting in delight, he fondled her breasts, his large hands imprisoning them for his use and pleasure.
Bursts of heat cascaded down her, gathering in her cunt, plumping those soft folds, her core’s moisture already coating them, preparing her for a man’s cock.
His.
With him, she didn’t need lubricant as she had in the Palace.
With him, she wanted this.
She drew his tongue deeper into her mouth then battled it so hers could fill his.
He allowed her what she wanted.
The greatest gift a man could give a woman.
Burning with desire for him, she thrust her tongue into his mouth, her passion savage and wanting. She slipped her fingers beneath his waistband and cradled his hot, rigid dick.
Naked lust swept through her. She weakened at his rod’s length, eager to work it in her palm.
At her wanton strokes, his breath spilled out.
She breathed him in and ran her thumb over the small opening in his velvety crown, wet from pre-cum. Using skill she’d achieved over a lifetime as a pleasure slave, she eased the warm liquid across the plump head to the bumpy skin at the back.
He pushed to his toes, and she followed, his muffled cry fierce.
She stroked and cradled his cock, making him harder, thicker, needier.
He tore his mouth from hers. “Enough of this shit. I want more.”
“Take it. Fuck me.”

Changes At My Direct Paperback and Hardback Store
Hi lovelies,
I have some super-sad news to share with you all.
Taken from Parcel2Go.com:
“From August 29th 2025, all parcels sent to the United States will be subject to duties and taxes, regardless of their value. This follows a new Executive Order signed by President Trump on July 30th, 2025, which removes the long-standing de minimis exemption for shipments valued under $800.”
This means, in the short term at least (but possibly long term or even forever), I am going to have to switch off the option for postage to the USA on my direct paperback/hardback store. I have no idea what these fees and tariffs are going to be yet, or if they’ll even be affordable for people, plus how much admin would be involved for me. I certainly can’t afford to swallow any costs – I wish I could.
To make this situation a tiny bit less crappy, I’m offering a 10% discount on orders of over £9 placed through my store between now and 23:59 on the 21st August. This means I’d be looking to get any parcels in the post/mail on the 22nd and hopefully get to the USA well before those fees kick in. Added bonus: the discount code works for people ordering from other countries, too, so anyone looking to order signed books is onto a winner! Simply use the code SADTIMES at checkout to get your discount.
Visit my store here >> https://lucyfelthousebooks.sumupstore.com/
I hope you guys understand why I’ve had to do this.
Happy Reading!

Attendee Feedback/Testimonial from My Spicy Romantic Fiction Workshop
Hi lovelies,
I’m just back from a superb morning teaching a short course on writing erotic fiction that stands out at Swanwick Writers’ Summer School in Swanwick, Derbyshire. I had some lovely comments and feedback, and as well as making me very happy, it prompted me to share this testimonial I was sent regarding my spicy romantic fiction workshop:
“I attended Lucy’s Spicy Romance Writing Workshop in Hednesford back in February. I loved the mix of instruction alternating with opportunities to write. Lucy really made everyone feel welcome and I was quickly comfortable reading what I’d written to the rest of the small group. I’d neglected my writing in the years since I moved house, but this workshop really kicked me into action again.” ~ Bruce
It can be even more nerve-wracking putting yourself out there as a tutor than putting stories out, so feedback is always very much appreciated!
Happy Reading (and Writing, for those of you who do!),
