A Gaping Hole in your heart

Aftercare is not only a must, it's something every dom should sincerely want to give and share with their sub. If you want a sub to truly open up and be vulnerable with you then you need to put sincere effort into making them feel safe doing so.

In my experience, nothing makes a sub more willing to not only give up control but turn the filth up to 10 while doing so, than being made to feel completely safe and cared for by their dom. That extremely slutty and nasty side of your sub resides within their emotional vulnerability.

When Thea Miller sells 34 plastic skulls to the gorgeous stranger at a garage sale, she doesn’t know he takes her mother’s life savings with him.

As the town’s new resident psychiatrist, Charles Montgomery has a reputation to uphold; giving in to his desire for twisted games isn’t on the agenda. But Thea is hard to resist, and when he catches her breaking into his house to steal the skulls back, he proposes a deal: a chase through the woods. If she wins, the skulls are hers.

She wants the money.

One game of tag sounds easy enough, but there’s something Thea has yet to learn: Charles never plays fair, and there’s more on the line than money and plastic skulls.

He wants the chase.

He needs a fake girlfriend.

She needs a hero.

When the town's scariest, but oh-so-tempting sadist asks you to play, you get to your knees and play.

5 days left until launch! I'm so excited!

Pacts & Predicaments: Masters of the Manor, Book 3

He needs a fake girlfriend.

Master Holden plays hard and punishes harder. Apart from upholding the unbreakable house rules at the Manor, he has a few unbreakable rules of his own:

Only ever play at the Manor

Don’t mix play partners and friends

No relationships. Ever.

So when his scheming father conspires to force him into marriage with a corporate shark – as if that’s a thing people do – the lie is born. Now Holden needs a fake girlfriend to keep his father off his back and out of his life.

As long as everyone plays by the rules, it should be doable. Right?

She needs an escape. Or a hero.

Some mistakes will ruin your life. Elaine is still paying for the last time she trusted a man when Master Holden, the sadist who tempts her like no other, asks her to pose as his girlfriend only days after punishing and promptly rejecting her at the Manor. A fake relationship with her blackmailer’s nemesis isn’t going to make her life any easier, but smart choices never were her forte. After all, she’s already broken the unbreakable rules in a failed bid to escape her situation.

What could possibly go wrong?

It's almost Halloween, so of course I had to write something spooky – with monsters! There's a warlock, a werewolf, an eldritch abomination, and a woman caught in the middle who learns that magic doesn't come cheap.

The Old Hunger

Spice level 🌶🌶🌶🌶

The Manor is having a Valentine’s Masquerade! It’s Callie’s first time at the exclusive kink club, and when she collides with a masked, sexy stranger, she jumps at the opportunity to feel his crop against her skin and explore one of her secret fantasies.

New Year, New Book!

I really, really try to write steamy books with domly Doms, but somehow all my heroes turn to sweethearts and softies when they meet their match... So, meet Jake, a teddy bear of a Dom, who meets his match in prickly Mina when she attacks him with a mop.

Synopsis:

It's been 3 years since Mina Knightley lost her husband and Dom, and she's learned to navigate life on her own again. She's fine, no matter what her friends say, and they're dead wrong about one thing: Mina doesn't need another Dom in her life, thank you very much. She has her book and pie shop and a weekly schedule that's set in stone.

Jake Woodson knows what dysfunctional looks like, so why can't he stop dreaming of a family of his own? He runs a business, engages in charity and adopts kittens - and he knows he found the perfect woman to make his dream of a real family come true in sweet, submissive Mina.

It starts with a stolen pie and a weaponized mop, and suddenly Mina finds herself claimed by a Dom who is everything she doesn't want - so why is it so hard to resist his wicked punishments?

Hi! Not too early at all! BWE 4 is coming out December 11 - that’s in four weeks! AAAaaaah I’m so excited!!!!

For a number of reasons, my story “Aftershock” is a very personal story, even though Tessa, the heroine, is quite different from myself (apart from the fact that we’re both German). Tessa is in a long distance relationship with Hector, a Mexican doctor, and arrives in Mexico for a visit just as the earthquake hits Mexico City in September 2017. Her flight is redirected, leaving her stranded far away from her lover in a country she doesn’t know and of which she doesn’t speak the language, and with no possibility to reach him. So what is she going to do? Take a flight home, like the airline offers, or embark on a risky journey to find Hector?

I’ve never been in a long distance relationship, and I don’t know what I would have done in Tessa’s situation. I’m too scared to bord an airplane to begin with. So, why is this story so personal if pretty much everything is so different from my own life?

While I was writing Tessa’s story, my sister was living with me. She’s the most important person in my life, my person, to put it in Christina Yang’s words.  She’s also a German woman married to a Mexican man, who just had her first baby in a long distance relationship. She lived with my family for three months, waiting to return to Mexico City with my baby niece. Tessa’s story was born one morning when we sat in the kitchen, remembering the fear and impotence we (both, but she more than I, of course) felt when the 2017 earthquake hit while she was an ocean away from her husband. And we laughed when she told me that he had slept through it, because his apartment building is built on different substrate and barely shook at all.

It’s weird to have personal stakes in a catastrophe happening on the other side of the world, and being unable to do ANYTHING - besides feeling guilty for also being glad you (and your person) weren’t there when it happened. But we wondered: what would my sister have done, had she arrived for the first time just as it happened? Mexico City Airport was closed and evacuated, flights were redirected. And when my sister visited her then boyfriend for the first time, she had nothing but a mobile number - and there was no cellular network directly after the earthquake, so how would she have reached him? And how would I reach my sister if another strong earthquake were to happen now, while she’s there? I hope I would be like Tessa, who finds the strength to go on a quest in search of her lover.

Tessa’s story is one of romantic love, but it’s not that different from the deep, absolute love I have for my sister. In the end, it’s love that offers us the strength to cross into the unknown, to take risks and get out to help the people who need us, and save the ones we can. “Aftershock” is such a personal story because I, too, would move heaven and earth to find my sister.
