‘Head Games’ by Desiree Holt

When Diego Valdez took his sub, Kaci Ballard, on a trip to subspace, neither of them realised just how erotic that journey would be–or how it would end.
International businessman Diego Valdez had a reputation as a Dom for never keeping his subs more than two years. Then came the big gift and the kiss-off. But sculptor Kaci Ballard has been with him for three years and is wondering when her time will be up. Because Kaci has done the unforgiveable-fallen in love with him-and she’s not sure how she’ll handle the end when it comes.

When he tells her he wants to teach her how to enter subspace so they can raise the edge of pleasure/pain she agrees, hoping that will show him her total commitment-and give her the same in return. But neither of them is quite prepared for how this particular journey turns out.

‘His Landlady’ by Jan Irving

“I know I should have waited, bided my time like a good boy but…I am not a good boy,” seductive younger man Sloan Kent tells Diana Moore the first time they meet, when the martial arts instructor lures her into an act of unexpected submission.

Diana Moore is edgy around new tenant Sloan Kent, owner of a kick boxing school. From the moment she glimpses a martial arts poster of the lean, beautiful man, she wants him, but she can’t see a focussed warrior athlete and an earth mother like her having much in common.

Sloan’s calm Zen facade lulls Diana so that she submits to him the first time they are alone together. Diana has never had such an intense experience, but he’s too young to be her master, isn’t he?

‘The Science of Submission’ by Justine Elyot

Where do sex and science meet? Ailish finds out the answer – and it’s yes. Yes. Yes, Sir.
Ailish’s fascination with the shadowy figure known to her friends as The Scientist leads her to discover their mutual interest in some of the lesser-travelled roads of human sexuality. So when Rod suggests she assist him in researching some of the enduring questions of kink, she is too intrigued to resist.

They work together to establish the precise truth of the axiom that the brain is the largest human sex organ. What will they conclude? Will they be able to establish, together, a science of submission? And will that research partnership lead to a more intimate relationship?

‘Away From It All’ by Elizabeth Coldwell

Alyssa’s tired of playing by the rules, but when she meets Drew, she’s bound to obey him…
When the promotion Alyssa Morton worked so hard for goes to someone else, her friend, Kay, books them both into an exclusive spa for some serious pampering. Kay falls ill on the eve of the trip and Alyssa, tired of playing by the rules, decides to go on her own. The spa’s policy is to seat single guests at the same table, and she finds herself sharing her evening meal with handsome American actor, Drew Jefferies.

Drew recognises in Alyssa a submissive streak she’s never dared explore, and in the luxurious surroundings of the spa, free from distractions, he vows to teach her what it means to be dominated. He offers her a chance to give up responsibility, if only for a little while, and surrender to a loving, masterful man. By taking her into subspace, Drew offers her a whole new way to get away from it all. But can this ever be more than just a three-day fling?

‘The Accidental Sub’ by Mina Dorian

On the run from her abusive husband Catherine has learned not to trust anyone—especially no one in the BDSM lifestyle. But will she be able to resist a powerful dom like Jon?
Catherine has been on the run from her abusive husband and former dom for years. Unable to trust anyone, she has also left the BDSM lifestyle. Or so she thought, until a strange but powerful voice told her to get naked and kneel right there, in the middle of her office, after hours. Will she give in to her sweet urges and submit to a strange dom if only for one night? Can she trust her own instincts, which had let her into a disastrous marriage?

Jon has been a dom for years, but recently he has become bored with the lifestyle—until he sees Catherine kneeling in her office stark naked and in a beautifully submissive position. Jon knows he has to have her. Can he convince the gorgeous submissive to trust him? And will he be able to keep her safe from the demons in her past?

I’ve been a romance reader for dozens of years. I devoured historicals (the longer and racier the better), and Harlequin contemporaries (especially if they had a Greek hero—be still my heart!) by the hundreds.

I even wrote a number of them myself. (Unfortunately since I don’t know any Greek men, I stuck to what I do know, men as untamed as the Wild West itself.)

I’d always been known a “racy” writer. For me, giving my hero a cock was natural. So when I found e-rom, it was a natural fit for me.

I’ve never shied away from writing graphic, intense sex. I believe that sex scenes are not in a book simply for titillation, they’re supposed to be an intricate part of the plot. A sex scene is meant to reveal character, deepen the emotional connection between the protagonists, advance the plot.

Hot sex is not about using naughty words and hurrying to the next scene, and it shouldn’t be.  

Readers read for dozens of reasons. For fun, for excitement, relaxation, escape. My son was in the hospital once and I was enduring long, seemingly never-ending hours in the waiting room. I had a historical romance with me that provided momentary relief from the anguish.

 It’s my goal that readers will be able to escape emotionally into my books. I feel I owe it to him or her to make every page, every paragraph, every sentence as meaningful as I can. To me that means being honest. I won’t toss in a scene just because it’s page 113 and there should be one, I let the story build naturally. Sex is a logical way for characters to invest in their own relationship.

Another key hallmark of e-rom is sexual tension, that energy that crackles between characters even when they’re not in bed (or tied to a St. Andrew’s Cross). Sexy dialogue, meaningful glances, silent communication that arouses interest can be emotionally fulfilling. A hot, hot kiss can be as sexy as sex; hell, it can be sexier!

I feel I owe it to my reader, who chooses e-rom for a reason, to give her the most fulfilling book I can.  After all, sex without emotion can read like a list of ingredients on a soup can.

“Bend Me Over,” book two in the Hawkeye trilogy, is a finalist in the BDSM category!

Nice way to start the New Year!

May all YOUR dreams come true!

The masterminds were the super talented Belinda McBride and the famous Cherise Sinclair.

From the moment I heard about it, I was hooked.

Here was the idea…
Take an incredibly dominant and sexy Xavier, owner and liege of a BDSM club in San Francisco.

It would be theme night at the club, so the characters would have these fabulous costumes.

And the book would consist of three different stories.

They’d all feature hunky doms and spirited submissives.

I fell in love with the idea!

The the real genius ideas started.

Let’s throw in some characters that readers already knew. Let’s make each novella a standalone, but let’s have them intersect to create a complex overarching storyline.

We’ve been fortunate! Doms of Dark Haven has received critical acclaim. The book is a finalist in the Epic contest. And you have responded favorably…and really, that’s why we wrote it, hoping that you would love our heroes and root for them like we did.

Thank you!

We’re stunned and delighted, and we’re happy to announce that Doms of Dark Haven is a finalist in the EPIC eBook Awards, a prestigious contest for e-published books!

Hawkeye, Inc. is a top-notch personal protection agency. It’s headed by Hawkeye himself, and some of his operatives are dominant. All the heroes are sizzlingly hot, paired with spunky, take-no-crap heroines who finally meet the men who deserve them.

There are three novel-length books in the series, and a bonus Hawkeye offering in the Doms of Dark Haven anthology. (Containing stories by the fabulous and talented Cherise Sinclair and Belinda McBride!)

In book one, Danger Zone, there’s a bounty on Wolf Stone’s head. His former lover and submissive, Nate, and Hawkeye operative Kayla Fagan show up to help the loner. Trouble is, Stone doesn’t want the help, but he does want two submissives at his command.

Available in paperback, or e-book, or on Kindle.

In the second book of the series, Make Me, tall, dark, handsome, and oh-so dangerous Trace Romero, Aimee Inamorata’s new bodyguard. Aimee has no desire to share her home with anyone, especially a dominant Hawkeye operative who invades her space.

Aimee would send him packing if her older sister hadn’t threatened her with protective custody if she refuses Trace’s protection.
Available in paperback, or e-book, or on Kindle.

Aimee’s sister gets her own story in the final book of the series, Make Me. Competent and in control, Ms. Inamorata, Hawkeye’s righthand woman, has the perfect relationship with hunky fellow operative Wesley Lowell. Several times a week, she shows up at his house, has fabulous sex, meaningless conversation, and then returns home and to her regular life.

Dominant and determined, Wes has had enough of playing by her rules. He wants more than passion from Inamorata, he wants commitment. One evening, he bends her over the bed, and takes her the way he wants to: hard, fast, dominating.

Against her own wishes, she responds to his more heated sexual demands.

This oh-so-sexy man turns her life upside down.

Read both sisters’ stories in paperback!

Inamorata’s story is available by itself in ebook or on Kindle.

Bonus–Doms of Dark Haven:
In Met Her Match, highly trained Mira Araceli can hold her own in the toughest parts of the world, but not, it seems, against her secret crush, Torin Carter. She’d fallen for her Hawkeye instructor years before, and to him, she’d been just another recruit; fresh, green, idealistic.

Torin, with his dark Irish good looks and fierce temper, doesn’t want a partner, any partner, and especially not Mira. But assignments are assignments, and he takes his responsibilities seriously. So when the beautifully submissive Mira crawls into his bedroom, a leather belt between her teeth, he calls on all his resolve to send her away.

Unsatisfied, Mira ups the stakes and finds another dom to play with at Dark Haven. Beyond furious, Torin storms into Master Xavier’s club and claims his rights to dominate Mira. For the first time in her life, she’s met her match.

Available on Kindle or in ebook.
