For as long as she can possibly remember, Michael Brentwood (Scott Foley) has always been Amy's lifeline, the only person she can count on to heal her pain, not only emotionally but more importantly, physically. He's unbelievably kind, compassionate, an incredible humanitarian and a natural born pacifist. He just...tends to worry a little too much. When Michael rushes Amy (Phoebe Tonkin) to the hospital with an appendicitis, she's determined not to stick around, but her fear of hospitals is the least of her worries when her abusive ex boyfriend, Victor (Julian McMahon), returns to her life. Meanwhile, she meets Michael's new co-worker Andrew Barnett (Shane West), a bad boy rockstar with a heart of gold. Not only is he determined to protect her from her ex, but he's also determined to win her heart. **READERS PLEASE NOTE: This story takes place before the "How To" series. It can be read as a prequel to "How To Catch A Submissive" and/or a stand alone novel.**

In a world where passions and emotions run high, where every man you meet could be a potential dominant, ready and waiting to take you any way or anywhere they desire, where every day possibilities and pitfalls can appear out of nowhere, dark secrets and pleasures make you come undone, this collection of short fiction is a regular pandora's box just waiting to be opened and explored. Using my characters from both past and present stories, and prompts taken from various writing books on the market, I have compiled this exclusive collection of shorts for you. They could be a one shot, a fanfic, a fantasy-based AU, even a diary written by the character themselves. Read them in order or choose one at random. It's entirely up to you where you want to dive in. ------------------------------------------ :: THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY :: When Christian invites Amy to an awards ceremony in his honor, their dominant & submissive relationship is put to the test, not just by each other, but by the arrival of two old flames.

For the first time ever, I'm giving you, my lovely readers, the chance to ask questions and possibly interact with the characters that appear in my "How To" series. Ask them about their love lives, their families, friends, relationships, dominant lifestyle, medical/dental related questions, whatever you can think of. Heck, you can even ask them for a picture of their bedroom, playroom, house, car, pets or anything else they own and they will respond. In my effort to keep things organized and so it doesn't get TOO chaotic, each chapter is devoted to one character so please leave your questions/comments accordingly based on who you choose to speak with. I will make another chapter if one of the others reaches the image limit and there's a request for a photo. Don't be rude. Have fun with it! And I hope you enjoy yourselves. **PLEASE NOTE: My characters are continually accepting questions so don't be afraid to drop a comment on their page and ask your burning questions.** DISCLAIMER: I can't be held responsible for anything my character may say or do to offend you. These people run away with you sometimes and I have no control over that. WARNING: Some questions or answers may contain spoilers. Viewer discretion advised.

When Amy Gellar (Phoebe Tonkin) met Beverly Hills obstetrician/gynecologist and self-absorbed Dominant, Eric Masters (Matt Bomer), she never anticipated it would lead her straight into the arms of another, his cousin, legendary heart surgeon and Daddy Dominant, Dr. Christian Masters (Daniel Gillies). Chief of Surgery at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, he has his fellow surgeons eating out of the palm of his hand, hands that can hold a person's life but also, make a woman scream with unspeakable pleasure. After a class demonstration goes awry and sends Amy into cardiac arrest, she wakes up in the hospital to find herself under the care of the sexy surgeon. Enamored by his compassionate bedside manner and even more aroused as he inadvertently feeds her fetish, her feelings for Christian grow stronger even as Eric's possessive and irrational behavior escalates. Just as things begin to heat up between Amy & Christian, Eric walks in to find the two of them in bed together. Suddenly, all hell breaks loose. Now, out for revenge, Eric must turn to someone from his past and his paramedic best friend, Damien (Ian Somerhalder) to make sure the lovers get what they deserve, even if it means breaking a few laws in the process. He's going to show his cousin what real pain truly is, starting by taking away the one thing he holds dear. But after all is said and done, can he actually go through with his master plan, or will his conscience get in the way? Feelings between two people don't just go away, no matter how hard you try to bury them. Unfortunately, once you set a plan in motion, there's no going back.
