Daniel Cooney loves to tie women up and is nicely compensated for his services as an Elite escort. He’s no sadist, however, but a gentle dominant who longs for a woman of his own, one who won’t be intimidated by his size and ropes.

Becky Eaton bends over backwards to help her boyfriend work through his mental problems, but her submissive nature enables his sick desires to turn vicious. His plans to exploit her for his pleasure backfires … Becky experiences desire—and a climax—for the first time beneath another man’s command. Master Cooney’s tender touch awakens her in ways she never expected.

Beaten and broken, Becky
s tattered heart yearns for what could be, and while Daniel’s strength proves a pillar of support, she must find the courage within to escape a murderous monster—before it’s too late.

EXCERPT:
*Warning: Verbal and emotional abuse triggers

I entered the lounge to find the dimmed area already packed. Every stool at the bar along the right was taken, and the groupings of chairs and couches scattered around the room held parties in full-on fun mode.

Naked flesh. Blowjobs. The sounds of asses being tanned—and fucked—filtered through the soft music drifting down from overhead. 

One new couple caught my attention. Arrogance oozed from the wiry Dom as he stared at a woman getting her ass handed to her. His unimpressive hard-on ridged the front of his leather pants. A single rose tattoo inked his arm. 

The voluptuous, dark-haired woman on the leash behind him … wide hips, thick thighs that would be gorgeous wrapped in rope, huge bare breasts with large, soft nipples. 

Not an exhibitionist or voyeur…  

She didn’t follow her Sir meekly as he walked around. She cowered behind him. 

An insecure and co-dependent, with a Dom who took advantage of her quiet nature, my gut told me, sending a tingle of anger down my spine. I stepped off to the side and watched as he led her around the room. They drew near, and I forced myself to keep my gaze on her rather than the prick leading her around like a dog.

“How about this?” the wiry man chuckled, drawing her forward to the ménage scene on the couch to my left. “Double penetration. Two cocks shoved so far up your dry cunt you can’t remember your name?” He laughed again, and the woman trembled, her hands sneaking down to cover the thatch of black hair hiding her pussy.

My fist itched to break Wiry’s nose, the first hint of violence I’d felt in years.

“Well?” Wiry asked, yanking on her lead rope when she didn’t answer. “Does this turn that frigid, fat body of yours on?”

“N-no, Sir.”

“Goddamnit, Becky.” Wiry strode off, pulling her behind him. “The fuck is wrong with you?”
Tearing my gaze off her swaying, lush ass, I swore. Striding across the lounge didn’t lessen my anger, and I continued on with my cussing through the guarded door leading to the private rooms and down the carpeted hall. I wasn’t prone to violence, but if those two were taking the bondage class, I was in deep shit.

“Not my monkey, not my circus,” I muttered while pushing open the door to the private room Chantelle had set up for classes. “Don’t get involved.”

Adrenaline laced my bloodstream, but my hands held steady while rifling through the supplies of silk and hemp rope that had been laid out. A few basic knots, I thought, trying to focus on the task ahead of me. I pulled a chair onto the stage, positioning it on a side angle from where my small audience would sit. 

Ask for a volunteer, Chantelle had said. I snorted. I highly doubted I’d get away without having to talk someone into sitting on the chair while their spouse or partner watched. 

“Hopefully, one of the new Doms won’t mind sharing for an hour,” I muttered to myself.
Or, my conscious whispered, maybe Wiry and Becky will be in the class, and you can ask her to join you on stage. Show her what a real Dom is like.

I shook my head. 

Not. Getting. Involved.

A look into my story in the anthology: Keep You Safe

~ Blurb ~

A stalked artist. A sexy wrangler. She’d watched over him once upon a time. Now it’s his turn to keep her safe.

* I’m Professor Arianna Perez, and I’ve been asked if I’ll ever trust, let alone love, another man again. After dumping an abusive boyfriend, I doubted I would. At least, that’s how I felt until fate had sexy wrangler, Kian Bishop, reappearing in my life in a way I never expected.

* Against my better judgement, I fell hard for the cowboy, believing everything he said, including how he wanted to treat me like a queen and keep me safe. Little did I know, though, that the circumstances that’d brought us together could also tear us apart…and possibly claim my life.

Coming Soon!

Welcome to Erin A. Jensen w/ The Dream Waters #Series #Contemporary #Fantasy @GoddessFish

Today we have author Erin A. Jensen visiting. Welcome!

What would you like to tell readers about yourself?

* Erin Jensen is a part-time pharmacist and a fulltime creator of imaginary worlds. She lives in upstate NY with her incredibly supportive husband, two sons (who are both taller than her) and a Yorkshire terrier who thinks he’s the family bodyguard. In the early days of her writing career, Erin vowed to get a dragon tattoo—once her books received a milestone number of reviews—but she won’t disclose that number any longer, for fear of actually reaching her goal and having to go through with it.

Today Erin A. Jensen will be sharing her bit of advice for writers.
* I don’t think I’ve ever done a book signing where at least one person didn’t eagerly approach my table to tell me they had a novel in the works back at home. I’m no different from any of them. Before I published my debut novel, I spent three years writing it in secret. Only a handful of people had any idea I was writing a book because I wasn’t confident enough to consider myself a real author. Now that I am a full-fledged author, I’d like to share some advice with anyone who’s sitting where I was a few short years ago. I’m not claiming to have the magic formula for success. This is just what I’d tell myself if I could travel back in time. Since I don’t have access to a Tardis, I’m sharing it with the writers who are out there hiding in the shadows like I once was.
1. You ARE a writer. The minute you start putting your ideas down on paper and compiling them into a story, you have every right to call yourself a writer.
2. Don’t be afraid to share your dream with the people in your life. If I’d known how supportive the people in my life were going to be when they found out I’d written a book, I would’ve told them years earlier.
3. Connect with other writers. It doesn’t matter how remote of an area you live in. If you can’t find other authors near you, I guarantee you can find them online. Twitter and Goodreads.com are great places to start. You’ll be amazed at what a supportive bunch authors are. No matter what stage of the writing process you’re in, they’ve been there. They’ll share advice. They’ll retweet your tweets. They’ll sympathize when you have setbacks in your writing career (we all have them, it comes with the territory). They’ll cheer you on when you succeed. Some of them might even become dear friends.
4. Connect with other book lovers, not to sell them your book but because they are kindred spirits. They understand what it’s like to lose yourself in the pages of a book. They’ve stayed up way past their bedtime because they had to read just one more chapter. They love what you love. They get you, and they’re out there looking for fellow readers to share their passion for books with.
5. Book bloggers are the most amazing people on the planet. They love to read books so much that they’ve created blogs to share their thoughts on what they’ve read with others. When I first started out, I figured contacting book bloggers would be like querying agents (a terrifying journey paved with rejection and tears). I couldn’t have been more wrong. They are super approachable book-loving people. They’re happy to help spread the word about your book with their fellow book lovers, and they love to review books.
6. Find yourself a group of beta-readers. If you can’t find any near you, find them online. Their feedback is crucial. It will help you pinpoint inconsistencies or confusing portions of the story.
7. Hire a professional editor. I know it’s expensive, but you’re limiting yourself if you skip that step.
8. Develop a thick skin…VERY thick. I’m not going to lie. Putting your book out there is daunting. Whether you decide to query literary agents or self-publish your novel, you’ll be offering up your book baby—the product of your blood, sweat and tears that you’ve been pouring your heart and soul into for eons—to be criticized by strangers. Even the greatest authors out there have received rejection letters and negative reviews because books are a matter of personal taste. Not everyone enjoys the same stories, and there will be plenty of people who dislike yours. It will crush you at first but if you really want this, it comes with the territory. Brush it off, be proud of the fact that you were brave enough to put yourself out there, and move on.
9. Keep reading books. You’ll never improve as a writer if you don’t set aside time to read. Read outside your genre. Everything you absorb will find its way into your writing in one way or another.
10. Keep writing. Think of it like taking up a sport—the more you practice, the better you get. That’s absolutely true of writing.
* This isn’t an all-inclusive list by any means. It’s just a bit of advice I wish I could go back in time and give myself. If it helps another author move forward on their writing journey, then that’s just as good.
* That’s my final piece of advice. Pay it forward. Once you reach the next step in your journey, don’t forget to lend an ear or offer a bit of help to someone who’s standing where you once were. Other authors are not your competition, they’re your peers. Show them some love.

A look into…

~ Blurb for Dream Sight book 3 ~

* The clock is ticking for Emma Talbot—if her dormant memories don’t resurface soon, her past will be forever lost to her—but that’s the least of her worries. Abducted from her home by her husband’s worst enemy, Emma is running out of time in more ways than one.
* No longer bound by any limits—moral or physical—the Dragon King sets off on a rampage to discover the whereabouts of his missing wife and retrieve her from the monster who took her. And any creature who is fool enough to stand in his way may well condemn himself to a fate worse than death.
* As the royal family’s crisis escalates, Charlie has his own struggles to deal with. The weight of the world now rests on his shoulders and although he is physically capable of shouldering the burden in his emergent form, his ability to control the bestial urges that accompany his newfound power might be another story.
