Four years ago I signed a contract. Today Dominik Staszek came to collect what is his.

Me.

He is not a gentle man, and he will not be a gentle husband.

Not even on our wedding night. Not even my very first time.

Before we even spoke our vows I felt the sting of his belt on my bare bottom, but it was only once I was bound to his bed that I began to truly understand what it means to belong to him.

I am not just his bride. I am his completely.

Tower

Reluctant Surrender

Cuffed

After her brother's life of crime is brought to a sudden end, twenty-two-year-old Kara Jennings fears she may be the next target of the men who killed him. It comes as a shock, however, when she is taken captive by a mysterious man who promises to keep her safe but quickly demonstrates that he will not hesitate to punish her in any way he sees fit if she disobeys him. Devin Stringer is certain there is something important that Kara is refusing to share with him--something related to her brother's death--and he is fully prepared to be as firm as necessary to get her to tell him the truth, even if that means stripping her bare, spanking her soundly, and keeping her caged like a pet. Despite her shame at being made to kneel naked at her captor's feet, eat from his hand, and surrender her body to him completely, Devin's dominance leaves Kara helplessly aroused and yearning for him to master her even more thoroughly. When he brings her to the edge of an intense climax only to leave her desperate and wanting, her need for him to claim her properly compels Kara to confess the secret her brother shared with her before his death. But will that information help Devin protect his beautiful pet or will it ultimately put her in greater danger?

Protecting His Pet

Suspicion

Unwilling Pawn

He wouldn't take my money. He wanted my innocence instead.

When Nikolai Romanov came looking for my brother, I emptied my savings hoping I could pay off his debt. But it wasn't even close to enough, so Nikolai Romanov decided to take me instead.

I didn't expect a Russian mafia boss like him to be gentle with me... and he wasn't.

Not when he spanked me for daring to wear panties under the dress he chose for me, and certainly not when he stripped me out of that same dress and made me scream in his bed.

He told me I would be his for a month, but the way he looks at me says I'm his forever...

Roulette Redux

Black Light

After she uncovers her wealthy father's ties to a prominent Chicago crime family, twenty-four-year-old Addison St. Claire flees to a small town in Michigan where she hopes to start a new life. Things are not that simple, though, and she is quickly tracked down by a stern, handsome police detective who makes it clear that Addison will be coming with him whether she likes it or not. Detective Trevor Stringer is none too pleased at being assigned to babysit a spoiled rich girl, but he is determined to keep Addison safe, even if that means taking her over his knee for a painful, humiliating bare-bottom spanking when her defiance puts her life at risk. Despite her protests, her body's response to his bold dominance makes it obvious that Addison is in need of a firm-handed man to keep her in line, and before long she is begging Trevor to claim her properly. Over the coming days, Addison learns what it means to belong to a man who will not hesitate to strip her bare and punish her thoroughly whenever he feels it necessary. Whether she is pleading desperately for the release she has been denied after a hard spanking or writhing with pleasure more intense than she can handle as she is brought to one shattering climax after another, Addison is left with no doubt that she has been mastered completely. But when she discovers that Trevor has kept an important secret from her, will she ever be able to trust him again?

Protecting His Runaway

When the mob came after me, Jakub Staszek kept me safe. But his protection has a price...

Me.

When he caught me drinking underage in his club five years ago, Jakub spanked my bare bottom like a naughty little girl. But when he took off his belt today, he had a different use in mind for it.

It was to bind my arms and leave me helpless for a much rougher, much more shameful lesson.

The kind where my face is pressed into the sheets and every thrust is more brutal than the last.

The kind that will leave me begging, screaming, and still sore with every step I take tomorrow.

But the next time he stripes my backside, it won't be to teach a disobedient college girl a lesson.

It will be to teach his new bride her place.
