Book excerpt: The journey of Grace Forrester and Ralph White began in THE INTERVIEW, with Grace searching for the dream job and Ralph interviewing for a new live-in submissive. The story is a slow burn from the start of their lives together and sets the background of the series to follow. This is where their journey continues… Grace Forrester Life is full of curveballs. I just wish they’d bypass me on the odd occasion. Throwing me a lifeline just to yank it back doesn’t count. I had my chance at turning around the ever-deepening mire of debt. I was sucked in… and I messed it up. What sane woman would agree to a certifiable proposal by a prospective employer on the day of the interview? Not this one. The threat of losing the house I inherited from my parents forced me to reconsider my options. Except… would the formidable Ralph White consider my counteroffer? Ralph White I’m not well-liked in the corporate world, not that I care. I worked hard to achieve success and became a self-made billionaire, something no one can take away from me. Except it leads to a lonely life, one I counter by carefully selecting a new live-in submissive every year. Grace Forrester ticks all the boxes, but she’s stubborn and spurned my offer. She’s the one I want, and I always get what I’m after. Besides, I have the power and money to bend her to my will. Amid a suspenseful backstory of money, power, and corruption, will this sassy woman give in to the pull of the natural submissive yearning to be set free? PLEASE NOTE: Although the blurb is in first person, the book is written in third person.

There is no safeword. You signed that away when you joined The Enclave." Jaime Shepard fantasizes about being bound in chains-her heart, body and soul the possession of a Master who won't hesitate to take what he wants. Unfortunately, exploring dreams of sensual submission has taken a backseat to the daily grind of life, yet she never feels more alive, more vital, more herself than when engaging in a scene at one of the local BDSM clubs. When the sexy, mysterious owner of Asheville's premiere underground BDSM club makes Jaime the offer of a lifetime, she jumps at the chance to experience The Enclave, a secluded community dedicated to the passionate realization of a 24/7 BDSM lifestyle. Against the backdrop of a luxurious mountain resort, Jaime's rigorous, full-immersion indoctrination begins. Erotic discipline and intensive slave training push Jaime to the very limits of her boundaries and force her to reach deep inside to discover the grace and inner strength necessary for true submission. One thing she isn't seeking is love-but it might find her just the same.

It's in the suffocating coddling of his entire family, and the relentless reporter demanding an exclusive of his ordeal.Most of all, it's in his lack of submission to Ben, who isn't convinced Gavin's recovered enough to trust the power exchange between them.The miraculous recovery of two teen boys from a twisted kidnapper gives him heart, and Gavin's determined to prove he can handle anything despite increasing strain between him and Ben, painful nightmares, and panic when anyone touches him.But his next case is too close for comfort: a friend and colleague found raped and murdered in a fate chillingly similar to what could have been his own, and this killer isn't stopping with one cop. As the body count rises and taunting souvenirs are being hand-delivered to Gavin, he faces a frustrating lack of leads, a crushing need to prove himself, and a sinking suspicion the imprisoned kidnapper's reach is further than originally thought. A miasma of uncertainty and fear threaten to suffocate him when he asks a question with which he's overwhelmingly familiar: what happens when a victim is pushed too far?

Every week he meets anonymously with the same man, in whom Silas has discovered the ideal meld of intellectual companionship and absolute obedience to his sexual commands. But unbeknownst to Silas, his closest friend is also his greatest enemy, with the power to see him hanged—or spare his life. A loyal, well-born gentleman official, Dominic Frey is torn apart by his affair with Silas. By the light of day, he cannot fathom the intoxicating lust that drives him to meet with the Radical week after week. In the bedroom, everything else falls away.
