"A sexy, mountain adventure with twists and turns...and smoking hot love scenes." - Virginia Wade, author of The Moan For Bigfoot Series
Riley may be one of the top female mountain climbers in the world, but when testing her abilities by scaling the forbidden mountain, she encounters an adventure completely out of her control. The mountain is forbidden for a reason, and when she finds herself in unknown territory, surrounded by a mountain tribe she never knew existed, her stubbornness thrusts her further into a ritual she knows very little about. She becomes a prize in The Carnal Games…and she’s not so sure she wants to be in that position, but she has no choice.

Excerpt:
The
thing that boils the blood in my veins more than anything else is
when someone tells me I can’t do something.
“Do
you really plan to be able to even announce the climb?” Jared asks,
and then laughs. “Listen, Riley, even if you could handle the
physical strain, there are political aspects baring anyone from
trying.”
“Physical
strain? Are we truly having this discussion? Poke fun all you want,”
I say and pat his bare chest. “Listen, I mapped it out. Should be a
piece of cake.”
“Riley,
when will you rest? What do you have to prove? Seriously. Why don’t
you just drop it and move on? You can’t do it,” Jared says.
That’s
all it took, those four words and the heat rises to the surface of my
face, and anger takes over. “I can do it, and no one will stop me.”
I push off him and climb out of bed. I pull my jeans on, and search
around the room for my bra.
“Awe,
come on baby. I didn’t mean anything by it. I take it back. I know
you can do it, I just meant, not by yourself, you’d need a team.
Why don’t you come back to bed?” Jared begs.
“You
may be one of the world’s leading climbers, but I’m your equal,
Jared,” I say, finding my tank top first. I put it on, and grab my
bag.
“You’ll
end up killing yourself, Riley,” Jared rises up on his elbows, the
sheet falls off most of his godlike body, and I’m almost tempted to
join him.
“I’ll
see you in a few months, Jared.” I turn and leave the room,
slamming the door behind me. He’ll soon see not how only equal I
am, but how superior. No one tells me I can’t do something. No one!

The
closest I can get to Mount Gangkar, includes being a part of the
19-day Mount Gangkar Trek starting in Paro. Only four other people
make up our small party of trekkers, and I’m not just the only
American, but also the only female.
“You
know, dear lady, the traveling chaps will provide our basic
necessities, like food and water,” the English man, Conner, says
and smiles. The others laugh with him. They’ve been teasing me
about my pack since we began.
“I’m
well aware of that fact,” I say, smiling and pushing past these
amateurs.
“You
have to admit, she’s one spunky broad,” Conner’s friend, Kyle,
says. “How many women actually want to do this. I couldn’t get
Miriam to even consider it.”
One
more day and we will reach the destination that will allow us all to
part ways. Then, what’s really in my pack will become so much more
useful.
“Even
the toughest of women need to bring a shitload of stuff wherever they
go,” Conner says. He and his friend laugh, and I move further up
the line, passing the lead packhorse, but I can still hear their
whispers. “I’m glad Miriam isn’t here, so I can stare at that
ass all day long. Man, what I wouldn’t give to have just a
five-minute fuck session with her.”
It
takes everything I have to ignore his asshole comments and keep
trudging along. I remind myself of my true quest, and know this is
only temporary.
The
rhododendron and bamboo forests begin to thin out, revealing the
breathtaking mountains. Snow covers the peaks, and excitement boils
under my skin. It won’t be easy slipping away in the night, through
unknown territory, but I know the sacrifice will be worth it.
What
will the guide do when one of his hikers goes missing? At the exact
location where the government forbid such trespasses?
As
the others break at a yak herder’s camp, they accept an invitation
to join them for some butter tea. I decline and sit outside viewing
the very mountain I’ve been dreaming about for months. Mount
Gangkar…the highest unclimbed mountain in the world.
