The day my father agreed to testify against Terrence Randall, one of the most ruthless drug traffickers in North America, was the day I became the target of the drug lord’s enraged vengeance. I was the one thing that stood in the way of Daddy’s testimony, and the one thing that could save Randall. The man would stop at nothing to get his hands on me. I was prepared for what was coming — as prepared as one could be when vanishing into the U.S. Marshal’s Witness Protection Program. I just wasn’t prepared for him. For ex-Navy SEAL turned mercenary Lake Freeman, escorting Lily Cross into the Witness Protection Program was just another job — until a better offer came along. Lake couldn’t have cared less about the life he’d been hired to protect. After all, she was a part of the very organization that had cost him so much already. At least he never expected to care. But when forced into a decision he never thought he’d have to make, the mission became one of survival for himself and his beautiful charge. Lake knew that in order to protect her, he’d need to bring the feisty and unpredictable Lily to heel — he couldn't keep her safe if he couldn't keep her under control. But that protective urge quickly turned into something else, something dark ... and his need to conquer, to claim, overrode all else. He would keep her safe. He would keep her protected. But he would make her his, as well. Now, all he had to do was figure out how to keep them both alive long enough to do it... Publisher's Warning: Intended for mature readers. 18 and over only!

Captive, Mine

Depraved

At His Will

His sweet, submissive Lacey needed her strict, disciplinarian husband back. And she was about to get it. Being a submissive, well-spanked wife was pretty close to heaven on earth for Lacey Warren. The problem was, after the birth of her child, she was distinctly missing the “well-spanked” part. Perhaps she didn’t miss the pain of her punishments, the humiliation, and being bent to the iron will of her implacable, alpha male husband. Or maybe that was exactly what she was missing. Her problem was how to rekindle that red-hot, twisted, dark D/s undercurrent that used to run through every sexual encounter between she and her husband. Pushing him wasn’t an option; her husband would never do anything until he was good and ready. She’d resigned herself to a permanent change in their intimate lives…until the day he’d left her the letter. The old Troy had returned. With a vengeance. And it looked like Lacey was about to live out the very painful — but deeply sexual — reality of “be careful what you wish for.” It had been long enough. Holding himself back from taking his wife in hand once again had been the worst torture he’d ever been through. With a new baby, he had no choice. Now? Those days were over, and his Lacey was about to find out that the old Troy hadn’t disappeared. He’d only been waiting. Soon, he’d have her on her knees again, and back firmly under his thumb — and his hand. The days of his wife walking around with a pristine white bottom were coming to an end. The only question for Troy was: how far was he prepared to take her in order to show her their old D/s dynamic was very much still alive. Did he trust himself not to lead her too far down the road of deep, utter submission he required of her? When it came to his gorgeous, curvy wife, he would accept nothing less than her complete surrender. To a hard, strict man like him, Lacey was more than his wife. She was his possession. He intended to remind her of that in very sexual, painful, and even humiliating, ways. It was what she needed. It was what she craved. He would give her all of it, and more, in ways she could only dream about. Those dreams were about to become a dark, lurid, intensely passionate reality. It was what they both needed. There was more at play here than simply reminding his submissive wife that she was subject to her dominant husband in all things. His best friend Hunter’s marriage was slowly falling apart, and Troy suspected Lacey’s interest in helping Hunter might be more than...simple friendly support. It shocked him though how much that suspicion — and what it might mean — didn’t bother him. What’s more, since learning of the existence of the community of White Valley, a very unique town nestled high up in the Cascades of Washington state that embraced the deep D/s dynamic that Troy and Lacey lived, a possible solution had been percolating in Troy’s mind. What would it mean to live in a place like White Valley? Could it both strengthen his own D/s marriage…and help mend a best friend’s broken heart?

Maintenance Week

His Property

Mate

"Maintenance Night." The very words make a submissive woman shudder in dread — and anticipation. Lacey has always been just such a woman, and now she’s also a well-disciplined wife, subject to her dominant husband’s rules, his corrections, and most of all, his desires. She loves Troy with every atom of her being, and can’t get enough of him. But if that’s the case, why does she persist in disobeying him? For a loving couple in a serious D/s marriage, disobedience has its punishments — and its rewards. And it’s on Maintenance Night that her husband decides to take Lacey’s submission to a deeper, even more intimate level. 14446 words

Maintenance Night

What if the very thing you crave is that which you most fear? Ashley is a woman running from her past - and from herself. Ten years of marriage to a man who took his dominance too far has left her scared, but defiant ... determined, yet desperate.

But inside she suspects it's that control itself that's the real problem - she doesn't want it. Any of it. In a beautiful resort town in central Washington, she meets two gorgeous men; the stern, dangerous Parker, and the dark, brawny Drake. Can she risk herself again, surrender to the forbidden pleasure of being subject to these men? Or is the possibility of having her heart broken yet again too much to chance? In the arms of not one, but two, strict Dominant men, can she find the peace she's looked for all her life? The peace she's only found in the bonds of utter submission, the taboo pleasure of being the property of two men at once?

What She's Looking for

Book II in the Spanked Wives series. I didn't know what was worse anymore - when he opened that door, or when he closed it. How many times had I wondered? How many minutes had I counted until they'd fallen away in the blackness, as unmoored, lost, and hopeless as I felt? But there wasn't time for that. The only thing that mattered was figuring him out. What was he really after? What did he truly want? For the thousandth time, I cursed my stupidity, my hubris, my idiotic conviction that I could pull this off. It was a cruel irony of fate that a single, impulsive, split second decision could profoundly influence the rest of a person's life. However long that might be. I missed clothes - real clothes - not the all-access outfits he made me wear now. No, what I was allowed was little more than decoration, embellishment of the physical attributes of his new found toy. How much more of this could I take? How much more did he intend to put me through? What was the end game, when he finally got what he demanded? I already suspected, deep down, that there could only be one end to this, a single conclusion to what this had become. My strength was ebbing away. I couldn't deny it any longer. What was the worse though was the temptation, the increasingly appealing prospect of simply...surrendering. And giving him what he wanted...

Falon's Captivity

The Spanked Wives Club was much more than a place. For an entire town, it was a way of life... Moving to White Valley, a picturesque mountain town high in the Cascades of Washington state, seemed like a dream come true for Lacey. But as a strictly disciplined spanked wife, she knew there was always a catch when it came to anything her husband Troy wanted. Alpha male right down to his bones, it wasn't always easy toeing the line for her darkly handsome Lord and Master. Nothing came without complications - or a well-spanked bare bottom. And Lacey wouldn't have it any other way. For the ex-Ranger Hunter, agreeing to visit Troy's new town wasn't exactly a hard decision. Isolated, alpine beauty, a sleepy resort lifestyle, and a chance to see both his best friend and his curvy, gorgeous wife. A few days wouldn't kill him, right? But what Troy had neglected to tell him was that the town was much more than met the eye. Could Hunter really only visit for a short time, when it became plain that life in the close-knit community was something out of a spanko's deepest, darkest fantasy? Sure, in Lacey and Troy's marriage, it was always crystal clear whom the head of household was - Troy gave the orders, and Lacey obeyed them. Exploring a place like White Valley was just the start though, for Troy wanted his best friend to explore the possibility of something much more intimate ... and the bewitching Lacey did too. A D/s marriage was one thing, but how would it work when an entire town followed that same strict - and seductive - way of life? Submerging himself into both the town's alluring, sensual ethos, and the highly sexual dance of pain and pleasure of Troy and Lacey's deep BDSM dynamic might prove more than even the tough and adventurous Hunter could handle. But outside forces threaten to expose the dark history - and perhaps present - of White Valley, and the new bonds of three between Hunter, Lacey, and Troy might soon be tested in ways none of them could ever be prepared for. Publisher's Warning: Intended for mature readers. 18 and over only! Contains MFM menage, pervasive BDSM themes, and sexual situations.

A Message of Love

Kelsey's Keeper

A long summer of disobedience was about to be paid for… Sarah and Tim had agreed early in their marriage: she would always be held accountable for her behavior. She would be subject to both his guidance and his discipline, and follow him as the leader of their marriage. There were numerous terms for the sort of relationship they had decided was right for them. Regardless of what it was called, one thing was certain: Sarah submitted to her strict, but loving, husband. Far from being the only wife who often had to endure the shame and twisted arousal than results from a hard spanking over her husband’s knee, Sarah was one of the many wives of the very special community of White Valley. A distinct and all-encompassing Taken In Hand/Head of Household ethos marked life in the remote, but beautiful mountain town nestled high in the Cascades. But agreeing to surrender her body to her handsome husband, and the — often painful — realities of what came with it was not an easy path to take. The rules and rituals laid down by her husband governed her day to day life. And the gorgeous Sarah was about to experience the consequences of a wife in White Valley who pushed her innate feistiness and defiance just a little too far with her demanding alpha husband.

He took everything from her … and she found the only thing she ever really needed. For Alisse Southwick, the problem wasn't just the musclebound 8 foot tall alien who'd taken her from everything she'd ever known. No, the problem was she was seriously contemplating trading the knowledge that unlocked the secrets of the universe, in exchange for her freedom — sexual and otherwise. She was a woman of science, yes, but why did the alien holding her captive have to look like something out of her darkest wet dreams? From the moment he'd set eyes on her​,​ Lukanos knew only one thing: he had to have her. But there was ​one minor problem — she was​ ​a human. To even show himself to a human — ​let alone abducting one — was against every law of his people. But each time he looked at her, those sparkling, keen eyes, the long, sable hair, and the lush, shapely body human females were notorious — and celebrated — for, his resolve to follow the law, to obey his people's sacred Directive, was in serious danger of crumbling. He knew he wasn't supposed to want her — but he knew somehow, someway, she would be his — whether she was ready for it or not. Taking a human being was much more than an abduction though — it was a taboo act. Fearing he'd lose more than his commission in the Scout Corps, Lukanos quickly learned he was far from the only one of his people obsessed with human females. He wasn't the only one keeping a female slave. The repercussions for capturing humans were serious, but Lukanos was prepared to endure them. He'd endure almost anything to make the gorgeous human his, in every way. But what's a captor supposed to do when he begins to fall for his captive? Does he keep her as the only thing she'll ever be on his world — a sexual plaything? Or must he — for the first time in his life — do the right thing?
