"XXXX tales of bondage and love"

The Dance. Asia Drake hides her sexual fantasies from her former work peers, her boyfriends, her family, and even her best friends. Instead she has "toys" to provide her satisfaction as she fears rejection and scorn if she ever revealed her inner desires. That changes when the hunk takes her to Surrender Island where he tries to break her will through bondage. He trains her to be a submissive to be sold to the highest bidder, but finds himself caught in the bonds of love.

The Mask. Porn star Ferren Cooper makes good money acting in S&M roles, but seems somewhat aloof at least to her boss Richard Wilson, who wants more from her. He decides to force the issue by abducting her and taking Ferren to Surrender Island, where she will learn submission first hand. However, his handcuffs and ties fail to keep her inhuman as she somehow captures the heart, soul, and body of her instructor.

SURRENDER takes the reader beyond erotica to a world of S&M bondage in which women are kidnapped and sold on the auction block. The two female protagonists are fine fully developed characters as the audience glimpse lives beyond rookie submissives though the male trainers are interchangeable. Still readers who enjoy well written XXXX tales of bondage and love will want to read SURRENDER.
