At The Brink
By Anna Del Mar
Genre: Erotic Romance
A Story of Sexual Obsession
Lily: I should never have agreed to it. A woman will do a lot to keep her husband happy. But when my husband sells me to the highest bidder—billionaire, former Navy SEAL, pride of Boston’s business scene—I agree, not to keep him happy but because it gives me the chance to finally escape. Escape my marriage, escape my debts, escape my life …
Josh Lane demands a steep price: my pride and my morals. But the truth is, I’ve never felt anything like what I feel for him. He brings color into my gray world. And his insistence that I submit to his commands—his depraved, filthy, amazing commands—only feeds my craving to be taken by him. Again. And again. I should never have agreed to it, but I’m so glad I did.
Josh: I don’t need to pay to keep women in my bed. Though my preferences may be unorthodox, I never leave a woman unsatisfied—far from it. Lily Boswell, though … her innocence draws me, her secrets intrigue me. Having her is worth dealing with her cowardly scum of a husband.
I want to release her passions and heal her wounds .On my terms. Because the blindfolds and restraints hide more than she could imagine. I must keep her safe from the people who would destroy me—and the demons that haunt my dreams.

Wow! This was a completely absorbing book that touched all bases! The storyline was very intriguing and complex, the dialogue rich, the characters intricate and realistic and the romance was steamy and right up my alley! I love fulfilling my not so vanilla dark fantasies by reading dark erotica and this one definitely pulled some new ones out of the bag for me. However, this book isn't just about dark desires- it's much more complex than that! The characters were so emotionally palpable and realistic that I could really feel for them. The writing is just phenomenally great! This is my first book by this author that I've read and I'm definitely going to be checking out some of her other books if they're as great as this one!

Short Interview Thursday, May 26th at The Recipe Fairy
What's a typical writing day like for you?
Hello Recipe Fairy and readers. Thank you so much for having me over.
My typical writing day is pretty intense. I get up, usually hungover— not from drinking, mind you—from writing the night before. I tackle the business of writing first, emails, conference calls, meetings, social media. My goal is to take care of all of that so I can create a mental haven that will allow me to write in peace. With all emergencies hopefully out of the way, it’s time for writing. I’ll typically spend the afternoon editing something in the pipeline and the evenings writing my current work in progress.
Do you have any publishing/writing/promoting/booksigning horror stories?
Hmm. Let me think. Ah, yes, I once booked a virtual book tour with a company that didn’t exist. Yep. I did it. They had setup these ghost sites that had no followers to pocket the fee. To add insult to injury, I got a mysterious email that informed me they were a predatory company. Too late. Nobody answered when I went back to knock on that digital door.
Do you plan out stories or just write freely?
I start with a loose outline. In my opinion, outlines are general guides and detours are the only sure thing.
What's something unique and generally unknown about you?
Four things:
I’m an introvert but I operate as an extrovert in the real world.
I write better than I speak.
Given a choice, no matter how tempting, I’d rather write, period.
I write erotic romance, but my favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla.
