Being a powerful woman in a man's world is often isolating -- a reality Amber Chase has accepted. After all, her tastes are often too eccentric for most of the men who dared to get close. With a curated selection of designer power suits, red-bottomed stilettos and multi-million dollar deals, she enjoys nothing else but control. Despite meticulously crafting her world, an unexpected interview throws it into chaos. A striking beauty with nicely cut jaw and an equally formidable reputation, Vincent Wolfe presents himself with a gaze that seems to pierce right through her. But beneath his mesmerizing exterior, she senses a darkness that mirrors her own. As Amber explores deep and uncharted waters with this enigmatic paradox determined to pursue her, she resists the urge to let him in. Enamored by his beauty, she believes submission will hold his attention. He, captivated by her confidence, assumes dominance is the key to hers. Or....is it? When power plays intertwine with pleasure, a line between control and surrender must be drawn. Who gets to draw that line? This deliciously subversive tale of power and submission will shatter perceptions as two powerful forces indulge their truest, darkest selves for their deepest, carnal needs. _____________ This is a work of fiction.

The Vow to Seduction: Book 1 of the Collared with Trust Series Looking for a new twist in their love life, Dominant Santo and slave Kensa had decided to find another submissive to add to their inner circle. Not just within the walls of their home either. The girls despise each other. Each girl has a different personality, causing them to lash out on each other. What is worse is, they have to get along to earn their collars from Master Santo's lessons. Collars are the mark of being owned and protected. Many see this as wrong since people are no longer property, but being owned and submitting completely is an exhilarating thrill for these ladies.
