Master Sweet’s
discipline leaves Natasha feeling enlightened. But old habits die hard, and she
soon doubts everything about Submission Therapy. And that’s when the real test
begins.
Bitches, Bastards and Bad, Bad Behavior
Whether it’s in books or in movies, so often the characters we remember are the ones we love to hate. They also seem to be a lot of fun for actors to play. And they’re certainly a whole helluva lot of fun to write.
The James Bond franchise has been a goldmine in this regard. Bond himself, though usually played in a sexy way by a sexy man, is really more your “solid and dependable” kind of womanising alcohol-abusing cold-blooded killer. But his arch-enemies show far less restraint. And this is what makes them memorable. The Batman franchise is another which pushes these same two extremes at us. The good guys aren’t all that good, but at least they keep their emotions in check!
With “Submission Therapy”, Katie and I crafted a character who, let’s face it, you would probably run a mile to avoid. Natasha Blakely, billionaire CEO, is a slave to her work and addicted to stress. To her, every person around her is either a stepping-stone or a roadblock.
Or, as one reviewer said:
“...she is mean mouthed, arrogant, full of her own importance and very
annoying.”
This comes from a very positive review (4-stars out of 5), and it was very pleasing to read that comment. This is exactly how we designed Natasha to be. In order for her to make a personal journey through this series, we needed to put her all the way over there, where the bad folk are.
She’s not a bad person, but she is certainly badly-behaved. And a lot of her behavior comes from the same source as Tiger Woods’s. She behaves badly because she can. Because nobody has convinced her she needs to stop. No-one has stood up to her. That is, until we introduced her to Master Sweet. He acts as the antidote to all Natasha’s poison. He’s the strength that she’s never felt. His will is law when they’re in session, and he gives to and takes from Natasha exactly what’s needed.
And now with the second book in the series, “Occupational Therapy”, we see Natasha flailing against all the power Master Sweet wields. In the tradition of the most hammed- up movie villains, when she gets scared she gets loud and desperate. But she has her reasons, and readers will learn quite a bit more about her in this story.
And of course, Master Sweet knows how to deal with that kind of behavior!
BLURB
Natasha’s
experience at the hands of Master Sweet has left her both drained and
enlightened. Wanting nothing more than to curl up against him for as long as
she can, she is dismayed when he sends her home to dwell on all she’s learned.
But being a
creature of habit, Natasha’s stubborn and rebellious nature leads her back into
her old patterns, threatening to undo all her progress. When her symptoms
return in full force, she begins to doubt not only the effectiveness of
Submission Therapy, but also the motivations of her Master.
Learning of her
disobedience, Master Sweet brings forward Natasha’s next session. But
recognizing her behavior for what it is - a cry for attention - leads Him to
change His approach dramatically. If Natasha thought her first lesson was
hard...she’s in for a real eye-opener.
Does the
embattled billionaire have the internal strength to earn back her Master’s
trust? And how will she handle it when his intentions suddenly become even more
serious?
EXCERPT:
I heard her
walking away for a moment. When Chloe returned she pushed my feet wide apart.
She clamped something around my right ankle, then my left. I risked a glance
down between my legs and was surprised to see padded cuffs connected to a
three-foot steel bar. I shivered as Chloe secured the rope to an eyelet in the
center of the bar.
No matter how
much I tried to squeeze, I couldn’t bring my knees together. My most tender
parts were not just on display; they were completely vulnerable. If it was
Master back there I didn’t think I’d mind at all. But of course, it wasn’t.
“Raise your
face. Look at me,” Master commanded.
He sat on the
edge of the bed, His crotch swollen so much that it was impossible to focus on
anything else. It was right
there, only inches from my face...but completely
inaccessible to me.
“You like what
you see.” He mocked me with His taunting tone.
Hell, yeah, I
did. I flicked my eyes up to catch His for a second. He held my gaze with those
penetrating blue eyes, but reached His hand out towards Chloe, who scurried
over to take it. She kissed it, placed it on the back of her neck...and started
unfastening His leather pants!
I ground my
mouth around the smoothness of the ball gag. The red-headed minx was touching my Master! My body trembled with anger, the way it did when assholes
tried to fuck me over in the boardroom. But at least in business I could speak.
Here I was mute. Because He willed it.
Why? Why
wouldn’t He put me over His knee again? Why, when He knew how wet it made me,
how sweet it would be when He drove His cock inside me?
Chloe finished
stripping Master and walked back past me. He sat back on the edge of the bed,
His cock at half-mast, pulsing with every beat of His heart.

stylish enough to be cool.

Hunger
Christmas time in Brisbane is always so hot and muggy
you could drink it from a bowl.
Brett Freeman feels the heat like anyone, but for more
than 15 years it’s been nothing to do with the climate and everything to do
with Corinne. Only one thing stands between Brett and his perfect woman: her
husband, Darren.
Despite that stumbling block, Darren and Corinne
consider Brett their best friend. They’ve watched in despair as he’s tossed
away good relationships simply because, in his mind, no woman could ever
compare to Corinne.
Then, one muggy Christmas Eve, a friendly visit takes
a bizarre turn. Secrets are shared, an incredible present is offered, and for
Brett, life will be changed forever.
Every beginning comes from an ending.

The Three Day Hump
Luther has a solid career as a lawyer and is married
to a famous lingerie model. His life has grown comfortable, and he can’t
remember how it felt to truly want something…anything.
Opal is young, debatably single, and has lived a life
poor in everything but experience. She exudes a lush darkness and it draws
Luther to her.
He suddenly remembers desire.
Their flirting turns physical; lust turns to
obsession, obsession to addiction. They can’t see a future, but they can think
of nothing but the present. They don’t know how to stop, they only know they
need to.
An urban myth tells that three days of abstinence will
break the back of an addiction. They hole up together in a hotel for a long
weekend.
Naked.
Can their addiction be beaten? Maybe. But first, they
need to make it over the three-day hump.
