Dom Next Door

Tristy’s neighbor Grant is every woman’s dream. He’s handsome, sexy and a hero cop. They are pals, though she thinks he might want more. But Grant is a Dom and Tristy has no experience in the BDSM lifestyle. It scares her. She would never allow a man to control her. It’s just that he’s so damn hot and hard to resist.

Tristy shows up at Grant’s apartment and starts pushing his sexual buttons big-time. Their chemistry is explosive. He decides to take her to bed, tie her, blindfold her and show her what he can do to her body—just the barest introduction to his dominant nature. But Tristy finds her submissive soul and all bets are off.


Dominating Dekalia

Councilor Dekalia is lucky to be alive after a mysterious wormhole bomb scatters the contents of her living quarters to the far ends of the universe. The guardian commander wants her safe and sends her with Marax, one of his best primale supermen, to a remote ice world in protective custody.

Marax wants to finish the job quickly and get back to the war he's been forced to leave but Dekalia has escape on her mind. As a last resort, Marax treats the freewheeling fem to a spanking that ends up arousing them both to incendiary levels.

The real enemy is watching, and he is delighted. Soon a second wormhole bomb engulfs Dekalia and Marax, sending them on a journey of darkest desire and domination. They travel from an Old Earth speakeasy to a desert slave planet. A plot has been set in motion. The enemy wants a human baby-and Marax and Dekalia will give it to him at any cost.


Legally Binding

Kat Cartwell is a lawyer on vacation. She wants nothing more than to simply lie in the sun and catch up on her law journals, but the handsome and mysterious Julian Morrell has other plans when he introduces himself on the beach. A seasoned sexual dominant, he senses in the coy litigator a true submissive heart. After he manages to invite himself to her dinner table, sparks fly and their strong personalities collide.

Kat is intrigued despite her initial resistance. By the end of the night she's agreed to take a chance. He promises her a once-in-a-lifetime experience as his slave, but what happens in the morning when both of them want more? Kat makes a quick getaway but Julian is not about to give up on a chance for a more serious relationship.

All bets are off when he shows up at her firm, meeting with her bosses and putting her on a huge retainer. Now he has control of her again. The question is whether or not that will carry over into the bedroom.

Kate Cartwell is a lawyer on a well- deserved vacation. She has plans to spend it just lying on the beach and catching up on her law journals. While relaxing, a man stands over her, as she describes him he’s “tall, dark and hell no!” He’s 6 foot 3 and 200 pounds of blue-eyed eye candy with a price tag she just can’t afford. But Julian Morell would not be denied, he boldly tells Kat (as she prefers to be cal

Taking on Tabytha

Tabytha Quillen is used to having the last word, both in the bedroom and in her sassy column, "Tabytha Takes On". Self-described sexual dominant and a trainer of submissive females, Harlan Blake is exactly the kind of target she lives for. A quick interview over coffee ought to be all it takes to make mincemeat of the man and his ideas, but when he turns out to be handsome as sin and as quick on his feet as she is, all bets are off.

Tabytha can hardly get a word in or a breath out. Is she a subconscious submissive? Harlan intends to find out by inviting her to his BDSM club for a little innocent entertainment. Tabytha knows she's playing with fire but surely she can keep the upper hand with Harlan for a single night? It's the ultimate cat-and-mouse, and fate may have a surprise for both of them in the form of a passion far deeper than mere sex.

Nikky is a stereotyped party girl, but she’s actually more.  Deep inside she yearns for others to see her differently but doesn&rsq

As a group named Surrender: Tales of Erotic Submission is a fun short read. Each goes into the characters emotional states – some more than others but they still have the same feel. All the stories are easy to follow and full of continuous action. I think Breaking Skye is strong enough to be on its own, but with this group each shines a little more.   BREAKING SKYE by Eden Bradley is ab
