Danger Zone
Series: Hawkeye; Next Book: Bend Me Over Who's watching you…? The highly specialized Hawkeye team protects the world's most valuable things, secrets, even people. But now one of their own needs protecting. There's a cool million dollar bounty on Dom Wolf Stone's head. Trouble is, Stone's a loner and doesn't want the help. That doesn't stop his submissive and former lover, Nate Davidson, or another determined agent, Kayla Fagan, from showing up at his Colorado ranch, uninvited. The spark, the anger, the hurt is still there between Wolf and Nate, and their first kiss reignites the flames that time and distance have not diminished. With Nate's help, Wolf uncovers Kayla's unexplored submissive tendencies. Under the Dom's unyielding instruction, Kayla explores her sexuality in ways that make her dizzy. For Wolf, there's nothing better than having two very different, very willing, very pleasing subs at his command. But Kayla and Nate both want more. In addition to his love, they want him to give up control long enough to share his life completely. And that's the one thing Wolf is incapable of giving.

A Good sub Would... by Sierra Cartwright
Genre: BDSM Erotic Contemporary
Shelby, a wanna-be sub, hasn’t found a Dom strong enough to push past her need to be in control. Her experiences as a sub have been yawn-inducing. She’s fantasized plenty, though, about Trevor Lawton, one of Dark Haven’s legendary, mouthwateringly firm Doms.
As the stakes get higher at the charity poker match, Dom Trevor Lawton is fascinated by the woman kneeling across the table from him. Problem is, she’s not a good sub. Oh, she tries, and she’s lovely. But she’s not very good at following orders. The woman needs a firm, unyielding hand...his.

Real Doms terrify her, so Summer plays with lightweights only. And only in the safety of her club, Dark Haven. But on Western Night, the tough cop who wins her in a sub-roping game is as powerful as they come.
Virgil's first taste of BDSM was disturbingly enticing. Hoping to burn out his interest, he visits an infamous San Francisco club, where he wins himself the prettiest little sub he’s ever seen. He’s in a quandary. A man shouldn’t render a woman helpless, let alone spank her ass. But the nervous little submissive clearly loves being in his ropes. Her need to be controlled is as powerful as his need to control. So he indulges himself, and her.
That one night could be the beginning, but instead it's the end. She won't play outside the club and he lives too far to come play. He'll just have to find a way to forget her...or get her in his ropes to stay.
Publisher's Note: All of the stories within this anthology contain explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: strong BDSM theme and elements (including/not limited to: bondage and spanking).

This time the theme is western night and while most guests are in costume a few subs might need to watch out for the real deal.

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.

Doms of Dark Haven is a unique collection of stories by three very different authors. Each story revolves around the BDSM club of Dark Haven. Occasionally you may see characters from one story making a cameo appearance in another. Each story is separate and doesn’t need the others to make it work. And each, while visiting Dark Haven, has its own unique twist.

Hawkeye Two: Bend Me Over
Genre: BDSM Multicultural
Length: Novel
Tall, dark, handsome, and oh-so dangerous.
That's Trace Romero, Aimee's new bodyguard. Aimee has no desire to share her home with anyone, especially a Hawkeye operative who invades her space and thoroughly dominates her.
If it were up to him, Trace would be in a South American jungle, mixing it up with bad guys instead of playing bodyguard to the uptight college professor who makes him anything but welcome. But when he finds a stash of her BDSM novels, protecting the professor’s body suddenly gets more interesting.
Aimee would send him on his way, if her sister weren’t so concerned about the break in at her house, and if she hadn’t threatened protective custody. But protective custody might have been slightly less overwhelming than Trace demanding her complete capitulation, mind and body, and more -- her total trust. But that trust may be the only thing standing between her and a madman determined to kill her.
Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Anal play/intercourse, BDSM theme and content, violence.

Where do you go to learn to be the best submissive? Alana hacked her way to discover Ethan who had an impressive reputation working with subs, only he was in England. So across the pond she dove in --- libido first?
From the beginning Sierra Cartwright positions Alana as a headstrong, only willing to go so far submissive. Ethan had a ways to go to gain her trust and the ball gag helped some.

'The Retreat' by Portia Da Costa Ben Chambers is the perfect boyfriend, the perfect lover, the perfect man. Sarah adores him, but she knows that despite the deliciousness of their lovemaking, their shared interests, and the fun they have together, there's a certain special something missing in their relationship. And then, arriving for a hedonistic weekend of luxury at an English country house hotel, something happens that changes everything between them. A momentary, inconsequential pat on the bottom opens the door to a breathtaking world of daring and transgressive sexual pleasure...and forges a bond that's both profoundly physical and a melding of their souls. 'S&M 101' by Sierra Cartwright Julia Landon is not just bored, but out of her skull, mind-numbingly, someone-please-save-her bored. And she thinks that Dom Trevor Kendall should save her. When the attractive woman tells him she wants a spanking, Trevor looks at her in a whole new light. How had he missed her submissive tendencies? Trevor is more than serious about a D/s, to him, it's not a game. And he takes the curious sub to the limits of her endurance. For Julia, nothing will ever be the same now that S&M 101 is in session. 'Getaway Girl' by Lisabet Sarai All that Peg wants is a break, a bit of adventure, a relief from her mundane existence in the buccolic but boring Yorkshire hamlet of Kirkby Malzeard.

The seductive Lionel, however, is not what he seems. Before she knows it, Peg is a hostage, roped and gagged, speeding away from the scene of a daring crime. Lionel is armed and dangerous, but somehow Peg still wants him-regardless of the consequences. 'All Roads Lead to Ripon' by Barbara Huffert Sometimes it pays to revisit the past. Jane runs from a smothering ex who won't take no for an answer right into the last thing she's looking for-a mysterious stranger who appears wherever she is, watching her. Simon knows they're meant for each other the first time he sees her. Why she can't just do as he says and accept that is almost beyond him. Can some help from an interested observer be what they need to have a forever together? 'Kit and Mouse' by Dakota Rebel Kit is a vampire who had been planning on a quiet evening out at the local pub. But that plan becomes null when Mouse walks in. As soon as Kit meets him she knows that this quiet, shy man is not really what he seems. She instantly knows that she has to have him.

'Bound by Love' by Cassidy Ryan For two years Rhys has had a casual D/s relationship with Draven. It was never supposed to be anything more than an arrangement; a way for Rhys to occasionally indulge his submissive side. Draven made it very clear at the outset that he was not looking for forever, and Rhys was happy to accept this. But somewhere along the line he fell in love. Now he is forced to keep his real feelings for Draven a secret. Will the truth drive Draven away?

Naughty Nibbles
'This Time' by Sierra Cartwright Emily had one last chance to get it right. She'd always wanted to live the D/s lifestyle, and she tried other relationships before her dreams finally came true and she met Sterling, the renowned Dom. In Sir Sterling, she found what she hungered for, someone who understood her wants, needs and desires, better than she understood them herself. But, terrified of what he demanded emotionally, Emily succumbed to her fear and fled, only to realise the cost of living without him was too dear. Now, humbled and desperate for the chance to prove she can truly submit, she's back. This time, she can hold nothing back. This time, she has to push past her own boundaries and give this commanding, powerful man everything he demands. '213 High Street: Peepshow' by Christy Lockhart Gracie, Sophie and Katie know what they want and how to get it. And the most delicious thing? They're willing to share everything they know. Three sisters, one owns a very upscale sex toy shoppe, and a town that will never be the same again. A new toy, still in an irresistible box and sitting on the counter. What's a girl to do? Sophie knows she should wait until she gets home to play with The Clit Rocket, but it's been so long. After making sure Widby's infamous shoppe is closed for the night, she goes to the back room. The toy is phenomenal. Sophie's about T-minus 30 seconds from blastoff when he walks in. Tall, dark, handsome and wearing a law officer's badge. Seems the door hadn't been locked properly after all. Ryan Kelley gets more than a peep of the lovely Sophie. And this pretty little lawbreaker needs a firm hand. And he's just the man to give it to her. 'Imagine' by SL Majors It's about damn time he showed up. Chloe has waited her whole life for a man like Adam to grace her bed. Tall and muscular, this sexy man has golden hair and stunning eyes. He's in touch with everything she craves sexually. He knows exactly where to touch her, how to touch her, and how to bring her to the edge of a screaming climax. Can life get any better? After all, the man of her dreams is at her beck and call. All in all, she thinks, as she pours two glasses of wine, she could not possibly have imagined a more perfect man. 'Fed Up' by Sierra Cartwright Elizabeth Driscoll is fed up with her barrister-husband's work schedule. She's sick and tired of Jon coming home late every night with no energy left over to satisfy her sexual appetite. Once and for all, Beth takes control. That night, when he comes home from work, she's ready for him. Dressed in high-heeled diva boots, a bra and stockings without panties, she grabs him by the tie, yanks him close to her and latches onto him in a way that gets his attention in a hurry. When she orders him to his knees, respected and revered attorney Jonathan Driscoll is stunned speechless. He never knew his sweet, mousy wife had a dark and dangerous side. Having no choice, he complies with her demands. Jon learns, the hard way, that her oh-so-sexy boots are made for a whole lot more than just walking. 'Balls to the Walls' by SL Majors Balls to the Walls is David's motto, along with the name of his one-man personal training firm. Callum, young and enthusiastic, wants to be a better footballer, and he hires David to train him. Usually shy, Callum can't help himself when he exits the locker room's shower and sees David standing before the mirror, a snow-white towel wrapped around his lean waist. He has not yet showered, and he smells of musk and man. David becomes Callum's teacher in all things physical, but things really heat up when Callum teaches the older man a thing or two about emotion and vulnerability. 'Everyday, In a Letter' by Christy Lockhart While Alan is away, bravely serving in the country's armed forces, he and Meghan have to find creative ways to keep their passion alive. They begin sending letters, risqu‚, naughty letters, telling each other their deepest fantasies, things they'd never shared when they'd been together in person. Meghan gets into the spirit of things, picturing the events as they happen, and it's almost as if Alan is there. When he's sent home on leave, she discovers this hunk of a hotty, either in uniform, or out of it, is not the same man who left.
