"House of Sable Locks is a powerful, sexy exploration of slavery, submission, and humanity from an author who wields both plot and prose with accuracy and total confidence. The book lives up to its early promise, with a satisfying backstory and a plot that continues to twist and develop right up to the magnificently tense ending. The tension really ratchets up in the final quarter, and I found myself riveted, unable to stop reading, even when I wished I could look away."- BDSM Book Reviews

2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the now-classic steampunk erotic romance of dark passion, House of Sable Locks, by Passionate Plume award finalist Elizabeth Schechter.

In a respectable neighbourhood, on the top floor of a beautiful house, crouches the Succubus; by design, and by temperament, she is all that men crave and fear. To the wealthy and privileged men of London, the Succubus is a test they must pass to gain access to the House of Sable Locks, the most exclusive brothel in town. However, to William, a wealthy young man born and raised in India, she is the very essence of his desires.

William is recovering from the loss of everything he knows and loves when he first meets the Succubus. With great care she tears him apart... and he falls in love again. But their idyll cannot last: there is a killer loose in London, and the darkness of William's past is about to collide with the terror of his present.

Based on the short story "The Succubus" from the acclaimed Like Clockwork erotic steampunk anthology, House of Sable Locks lets us enter the mysterious brothel readers had previously only had a glimpse of.
