BiographyHistory

Denise Rossetti's interest in reading dates back to her early youth when an aunt would tell her original fairy tales. It was not until 2005, however, that she decided to try her hand at writing her own stories. That year Rossetti dared herself to enter the Erotic Pen Writing Contest that year, and while her entry Gift of the Goddess did not win it nevertheless attracted the interest of Ellora's cave editor, Sue-Ellen Gower. The book forms the first part of Phoenix Rising trio of erotic fantasy novels published by Ellora's Cave. Rossetti has since published a series of short stories and a novel Thief of Light which are all set in the same Pentacles universe. Two of her Kaminsky Family stories have also been published in the anthologies A Red Hot Year (2007) and Ellora's Cavemen: Season of Seduction Volume 1 (2007).

'All Sandy wanted was some R&R in Sydney before joining the Earth Ship Siren as head of Military Police. What she gets is a night of mystery and pleasure with a man so wickedly fascinating he can’t possibly be law-abiding.

'For professional con man Peter Stanton, Master Sergeant Alanna Sanderson, with her kick-arse body and cool blue eyes, is the most fun he’s ever had. Eight months later, on the Siren, he gets to meet her again, but now he’s Prisoner 141, and they’re out among the stars, half way to the penal colony on Solitaire.

'When a micrometeroid shower strikes the convoy, Sandy and Prisoner 141 are stranded on a stricken ship. Will he pull off the ultimate confidence trick and sacrifice Sandy for his freedom?

'If only she could command her heart as easily as she wields her stun gun, because when he betrays her, as he surely must, she’s going to have to kill him.'

'It’s 2202 and on board ES Siren, the brilliant Doctor Lily Kwan has worked in secret to develop an antidote for the aphrodisiac rape drug, sexmeth.

'She’d be overjoyed if it wasn’t for an embarrassing problem: the antidote has no effect on her extraordinary reaction to Connor Madison, the Siren’s tough quartermaster. Scientifically, it should be impossible, but the man’s a raging fever in her blood. If a single dark glance sets Lily on fire, a kiss might kill her dead but what a way to go!

'A former gang rat from the slums of a dying world, Con came up the hard way, so when geeky Doctor Kwan tops his hit list of possible drug runners, nothing’s going to save her not her family’s money, nor her clever mind.

'Not even the smile in her eyes.'

'Rosarina of the Garden is the most desired courtesan of her time. She is also a spy, sent on a deadly mission to Green IV. She cannot afford to trust anyone, least of all the Quintus, a Technomage with his own agenda - and the unnerving ability to crack her cool composure.

'Rose is a challenge Quin can't resist, but he's a threat she's been ordered to...neutralize.

'Duty and passion are a dangerous combination in the paranormal world of the Four-Sided Pentacle.'
