Series: The Unexpected Submissive, Book 1

I, Sebastian Kane, had everything a man could want. Money, Power, Prestige. I thought I was content in life with the occasional submissive to occupy me. Then one night, at the sound of a woman’s laughter, things suddenly changed. After meeting Miss Belle Anderson, I found myself wanting her, needing her and demanding her submission. Then I did something I’d never done before, I fell in love with my submissive.

Could I, Belle Anderson, who had never been in a relationship in her entire adult life, cede control over my body to a man? It wasn’t just for sex, because if it was just about a repeat of what we did the previous night, I’d be all in. No, it was about discipline, floggers, canes, whips, nipple and genital clamps. It was about being restrained, blind folded, and gagged. It was also about trusting someone enough to know how far to push your limits, to command you to do something so far out of your comfort zone it was downright nerve racking. Could I? More importantly though could I do all this without falling in love with my Dom?

An erotically pleasing read.

In the beginning of The Unexpected Submissive many parallels could be made to 50 Shades of Grey. Note I said parallels, not duplication. Still it had me questioning the direction the story was going to go in. Then the story took amazing deviations into territory that kept me glued to the page. While the hero, Sebastian Kane is a controlling billionaire who proclaims to only participate in D/s relationships with no strings and most definitely no romance, that is where the resemblance ends. And Belle… this is not your sweet, meek and virginal submissive. At times, I wondered if Ms. Cox decided to take the basis of the one story and see where she could take it and make it her own. Well, she certainly put her stamp all over Sebastian and Belle’s story. This is no simple story of a woman coming to terms with a man’s need to control and live the lifestyle.

Belle Anderson had a rough upbringing and a violent introduction to sex. She hasn’t been with a man since. She left behind the terror of that night in Texas and moved to Seattle. She forged a career as a personal assistant and manager of a charity organization and she’s damned good at what she does. She’s independent and quite successful. Belle is a stout champion of her causes. She’s a mama bear to those she holds dear. Just a few of which are the widower of her late mentor, her mentor’s son and young grandson and an ex-special ops vet. Harm any of them and watch the smiling, lovable sprite with an engaging laugh turn into a growling she-beast with claws bared and ready to shred. It’s very easy to fall under the spell of Belle’s persona and Mr. Always in Control Kane has no defense against the spell she wraps around him from the moment he hears her tinkling laughter from across a ballroom.

Sebastian Kane was married once upon a time. To say that the relationship didn’t end on a favorable note would be putting things mildly. Now he’s just a bit gun shy when it comes to relationships. Always in control, Sebastian doesn’t allow women to get close to him. He conducts his relationships by contract… with a healthy payout to the lucky submissive when things invariably end. He has a definite type, tall, slim, blonde and obedient… So what is he doing chasing this short, plump, brunette with a stubborn streak a mile wide? Oh yeah, he’s chasing that elusive laugh that turns his world upside down with longing for something he gave up on long ago. Something he’ll do everything to protect and keep. When a stalker rears his ugly head and threatens Belle, Sebastian will pull out all the stops to see her safe. Somewhere along the way he’ll find himself throwing his control to the winds and falling irrevocably and deeply in love with his stubborn minx of a submissive.

The Unexpected Submissive not only has hot steamy erotic BDSM scenes but it also has engaging secondary characters and an unknown stalker. It ends on an HFN moment with the stalker at large leaving the reader on a minor cliffhanger… thus leading to book two which I hope won’t be too long in coming.

Born and raised in the bayous of South Louisiana, I’ve always loved reading and escaping to new and wonderful places, even if just in my head. The first story I ever wrote, ‘Riches to Rags’ was in junior high school for a literature class and from that moment on, I was a writer. I’ve wrote many stories over the years but didn’t actually publish anything until 2014.

Now living in the Seattle, Wa. area, I’m married to an amazingly supportive man, who doesn’t mind doing the dishes or laundry when I’m hard at work on a new book. We have five furry rescues, three cats, two dogs (Rotty/Mastiff mix and Albino Great Dane) that keep us busy with their antics and wacky personalities.

When I’m not at the 9 to 5, you’ll find me either writing (of course!) reading, or out exploring with the furry kids and the honey. 🙂

Feel free to reach out to me at any of my sites. I love hearing from my readers!
