Jared and Leigh both know what it's like to be trapped in a seven year relationship where they give more than they get, the question is whether or not they can move on from them. Two steps forward, one step back. That's how Jared's life feels when it comes to his ex Marissa. Every time he thinks he's escaped the vortex of her emotional demands, she ends up sucking him right back in; but for the first time, he thinks he might have the strength to pull free entirely. At least he hopes so. Right now it just seems like he's hurting everyone around him and he doesn't know how to make it right. Leigh Douglas spent seven years with the man she thought she would one day marry, but she's now realized that she needs him to fight just as hard for her as she always fought for him. Since he won't, she's working on getting over him and finding someone who won't take her for granted. On the other side of the equation, she's definitely falling for Jared, but he's still entangled with his ex. No one can understand the hooks that Marissa has in him like Leigh can, but that doesn't mean that she's willing to take the back-seat again in another relationship. As Jared tries to side-step his ex and Leigh takes her first steps into the domination and submission-filled world of the Stronghold club, their friends hold a collective breath as everyone wonders whose heart will be broken in the end. This is a full-length novel with a HEA. It can be read on its own, although is more fulfilling when read as part of the Stronghold series. Breaking the Chain is approximately 93k words long.

An English spy and a debaucherous debutante meet in a French brothel. On a dangerous mission for the Crown, Captain Anthony Browne narrowly escapes capture by a band of French soldiers when a lovely working lady offers him a most pleasurable cover for his visit to a brothel. Enchanted by his unexpected companion's beauty and wit, the Captain would love nothing more than to take her as his mistress until she slips from his bed without a trace. Miss Eveline Stuart is well acquainted with secrets. The headstrong niece of England's spymaster wants nothing more than to prove herself to her uncle, even if it means going as far as pretending to work in a French brothel. Yet she never expects to find one of her uncle's spies there, nor a night of passion she will never forget...

Rick Winter is tired of playing empty scenes with submissives, only to return home alone. He wants what he sees his friends getting, a real relationship with submissives who love them. Unfortunately, since his move to be closer to his friends and Stronghold, the kink club he goes to, the only woman that's really sparked his interest not only isn't a submissive, she's his neighbor. Since he's always had strict rules for himself about not becoming entangled with women that he can't avoid (just in case things go badly), Rick's doing his best to ignore the distractingly gorgeous and curvy Maria. Maria Arias is the oldest of four sisters; the middle two are married and her baby-sister just got engaged. That doesn't bother her though, what bothers her are the assumptions everyone else seems to have about how it SHOULD bother her. She's just looking for some fun and maybe a few hot nights when she meets her sexy new neighbor, but he's staying aloof - mostly. After a series of mixed-signals, and one very clear warning to stay away from him, this tease is about to find out what happens when she flirts with a Dom who demands more than just a casual affair. Taming the Tease is the second book in the Stronghold series and contains erotic content, anal play, orgasm denial, all sorts of sass and lots of hot alpha-males. It is a standalone book.
