Summary

Elena Townsend, the dutiful eldest daughter of a noble family, has always placed the needs of her people above all else. With a heart as strong as her sense of responsibility, she has rejected the advances of Count Logan, a man of wealth but no honor. Her refusals, however, bring disaster to her land, as Logan grows more ruthless, taking what little they have left. To protect her family and her people, Elena makes a choice she never thought she would—a marriage to Gareth, a mercenary whose reputation for death and destruction precedes him.

    Would you dance for a statue? What if he woke and claimed you? 
     
     
     
    I've got big dreams of a career on the stage. Unfortunately dreams don't pay the bills. Working as an exotic dancer for a mysterious monster client sure beats being groped by some of the sleazy humans I've danced for. 
     
     
     
    Performing alone on a rooftop for a statue sounds strange, sure. Then the statue comes alive and turns into a huge, sweet protective gargoyle. My dance frees William from his rocky prison, but he tells me if I don’t stop, he'll have no choice but to claim me forever. Beneath the rough, stony exterior, my powerful gargoyle mate has a tender heart. But he's holding back. 
     
     
     
    How can I convince him he's worthy? Will he still love me when he realizes how much trouble I am?

    Obey Me Slowly: 4 Short Erotica Stories is a steamy collection of bold desires, off-limits fantasies, and no-holds-barred pleasure. From spontaneous sparks to slow-burn tension, each story invites you to surrender to the moment and obey every urge… slowly. 
    In Hide and Go Seek, a game meant for children turns deliciously adult when a reluctant party guest ends up crammed in a closet with her best friend’s older brother. What starts as a joke becomes something neither of them can laugh off—or forget. 
    Show Me Who’s Boss brings you an enemies-to-lovers office romance where the tension is thicker than HR would allow. Ms. Pim can’t stand her arrogant department head… until they’re sent abroad together, and she’s forced to face just how badly she wants him to take control. 
    Getting You There is a sensual slow burn about a woman trapped in a passionless relationship—until a sexy, mysterious cab driver starts showing her exactly how it should feel. With every ride and every message, he brings her closer to a climax she thought she’d forgotten how to reach. 
    Elevator Games explores the electric tension between two strangers in a high-rise elevator. No names. No words. Just heat, glances, and the kind of chemistry that makes clothing optional. But when secrets surface, the game might change—forever. 
    Each story is a quick, filthy, irresistible escape. If you love confident men, bold women, secret trysts, and playful submission, Obey Me Slowly will have you turning pages and blushing long after the last line.

    Alexis Yeung did everything right . . . only to watch everything go horribly, horribly wrong. Broken and angry, Alexis high-tails it to Europe, determined to face the world on her own terms and without consequence. Which includes a mind-blowing night with a sexy, scarred stranger. 
     
     
     
    Except, embittered former pararescuer Luke Jackson isn't exactly a stranger. He's supposed to keep an eye on Alexis without her knowing. Ending up in bed together was definitely not the plan. Now he's chasing her (admittedly hot) ass across Europe, a game of cat and mouse that always ends with the two of them tangled up in the sheets. 
     
     
     
    Something in their scarred, damaged souls calls to each other. And God help them, the sex is unbelievably hot. But if Alexis discovers who Luke really is, he'll lose the one thing that makes him feel whole . . .

    “A good boy like you deserves a treat.” A thin smile forms on Soren’s lips. 
    Alric steps forward and collapses upon his knees. His eyes widen as he gazes up at the gold talisman in Soren’s hands, the heavy sapphire in the center shimmering seductively. The incubus closes his eyes, channeling some sort of dark energy into the artifact. 
    Heart pounding, Alric watches as a vile monstrosity is released from the relic. This is his reward…his reward for committing perverse, wicked acts in his master’s name.

    “FREAK SHOW – CREATURES OF PLEASURE” 
    Rural America in the 1930s…it’s a rough place. I joined the circus to put food on the table, but I didn’t realize what the job entailed. 
    The ringmaster said he’d train my body. I thought I’d become a strong performer—like an acrobat. 
    But that’s not what happened at all. He’s training me to be a “boxboy”. 
    Locked in chastity and locked in a tiny wooden box, only my head and my plump, naked rear protrude. He’s prepping me for my grand debut. I can’t wait. I want it so badly. 
    Men from far and wide will pay to use my dirty, sweaty body. 
    They’ll pay to use a circus freak.
